Eleven Italian regions on Tuesday
requested a state of emergency over recent devastating storms
that have destroyed forests and crops and killed over 30 people.
The regions are Veneto, Liguria, Friuli Venezia Giulia,
Sicily, Lazio, Sardinia, Calabria, Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna,
Lombardy and Trentino Alto Adige.
The requests will shortly be transmitted to the premier's
office, sources said.
