The man was admitted in&nbsp;hospital with critical injuries as rescuers took several hours to dig him out of the rubble.

Reports claimed the men were digging underneath a shop for a few days to reach a bank. The attempted robbery would have taken place during Italy's Ferragosto public holiday when the bank would remain closed, reports said.

A fourth man is also under investigation. Reports say the men had previous robbery convictions.&nbsp;

Rescuers&nbsp;took several hours to reach the buried man as firefighters were pressed into service.&nbsp;The man apparently begged for help as the tunnel began to collapse.
