More violent storms are
forecast across southern Italy on Monday, a day after heavy
rains and a tornado killed two men in the towns of Ladispoli and
Cesano north of Rome.
Storms have been forecast on Monday in the southern
regions of Basilicata, Calabria and Puglia, as well as across
Sicily.
On Sunday, two men died after a tornado hit an area north
of Rome, wounding several others and knocking down trees,
damaging buildings, causing floods and leaving Ladispoli's train
station without power.
In the coastal town, a 25-year-old Indian national died
after part of a church's facade fell off and hit him.
The other victim, a 74-year-old retired army colonel, died
after he was hit by a tree in the town of Cesano, near Lake
Bracciano, one of the areas most affected by Sunday's storms.
Several homes were badly damaged in the storms.
