Bad weather plagues central-northern Italy, with the MOSE ‘saving’ Venice and Triestino ending up under water. Rain and wind also hit Tuscany and Veneto, while the waterways between Reggiano and Parma are under special surveillance. For tomorrow the Civil Protection has issued a yellow alert for hydraulic risk in Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto. The unusual unseasonal October, therefore, seems to give way to showers and thunderstorms even if the weekend will return to being sunny, awaiting Monday’s rains which – experts say – could also be torrential.
