Italy - Italy's agricultural heartland in the fertile north was particularly heavily hit by the flooding. Mud and water have destroyed orchards and vineyards in the regions of Tuscany, Liguria and Veneto. One person died in the floods in Tuscany. Near Milan, heavy rain swelled the Po River by almost 2 meters (yards) in 24 hours. The civil protection agency warned of dangerous weather from Liguria in the northwest to the southern island of Sicily. Italy's unstable, mountainous landscape leaves it vulnerable to flooding and landslides, a problem long made worse the abandonment of farmland and reckless construction.
