The local authorities evacuated 15 residents from the building in the city's Corso Guilio Cesare on Wednesday and luckily no one was injured in the blaze.
Reports said that the apartment where the fire started was completely gutted and declared unfit to live in.
Meanwhile, firefighters found two choking cats, suffering from smoke inhalation in one of the flats and brought them to street level to try to resuscitate them with oxygen.
In the video footage, a firefighter is seen trying to place an oxygen mask over a white cat's face as he pats its little head.
In the next scene, a motionless ginger and white cat is given oxygen while several firefighters stroke its tummy and try to reanimate it.
A fireman asks the kitten: "How is it? Feeling better?"
