The bad weather emergency does not subside in Northern and Central Italy, and especially in Liguria, Lombardy, Emilia and Veneto. A new storm passage, in fact, will hit the peninsula from the north-west, and then concentrate above all on the Tyrrhenian regions of the North and Center.
The most affected region, once again, is Liguria, where the level 2 weather alert, which involves the Spezzino and the eastern part of the province of Genoa, began at midnight and will last until the same time today. This morning, the undersecretary of the Prime Minister, Graziano Delrio, and the Head of the Civil Protection Department, Franco Gabrielli, will be in Liguria, Piedmont and Lombardy for meetings with the institutions of the territories strongly affected by the bad weather.
There would be at least three dead due to bad weather in recent days. Two, a 16-year-old boy and his grandfather, in Cerro di Laveno in the Varese area and one, a 21-year-old girl, in Alba, in the province of Cuneo. Meanwhile, the search for Luciano's missing body continues in the hinterland of Genoa Balestrero, 67 years old, overwhelmed by the flood of the Blassa stream on Saturday morning. According to the governor Claudio Burlando the damages of the latest floods that devastated Liguria would amount to at least one billion euros.
Delrio's visit to Liguria, as well as to Lombardy and Piedmont, closely follows the controversies that have broken out between Prime Minister Matteo Renzo and Burlando himself. Renzi, in fact, during a meeting in Sydney had launched precise accusations: "There are twenty years of territorial policy to be scrapped, even in some centre-left regions". Accusations to which the Ligurian governor had responded without delay: “The problem of the territory mentioned by the Prime Minister is also linked to building amnesties. The Prime Minister didn't make them and we didn't make them, but they were made in Rome. Three pardons in 30 years”.
