The greatest damages are reported in the Liguria region, and in the northern and western part of Piedmont region where the amount of the precipitation recorded exceeds the historical rate since 1958. The heavy rainfall has caused the overflow of several rivers and flooding of many areas. The overflow of the Sesia river in the Piedmont region caused interruption of roads, the collapse of a bridge and the flooding of several areas. Two deaths have also been reported.
