on alert due to a wave a bad weather than claimed one life at
the weekend.
A French tourist drowned when his yacht capsized off Sardinia
in rough waters on Sunday.
The regions on alert are Liguria, Piedmont, Lombardy,
Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio.

ferry services between mainland Sicily and the Aeolian Islands,
although these have now resumed.
