Thousands of active landslides in Emilia Romagna - expert

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 24 - Last week's torrential rain and deadly floods in Emilia Romagna have led to thousands, not hundreds, of active landslides, Paride Antolini, the president of the region's geologists' guild, said on Wednesday.
    The floods and landslides claimed 14 lives and caused massive damage to the northeastern region's economy and infrastructure.
    "The number of reported landslides certainly does not match reality," Antolini told Rai television when asked about an estimate of there being 305 active landslides.
    "There are definitely more, the number is in the thousands".
