(ANSA) - Bolzano, November 18 - A train derailed for bad weather in northern Italy on Monday.
    The train derailed because of a landslide in the Val Pusteria.
    The incident happened near Rio Pusteria, sources said.

    No injuries were reported.
    After the landslide the state highway was closed too and the valley isolated.
    The rest of Italy continued to be affected by bad weather too.
    In Tuscany on Monday many people evacuated because of swollen river waters returned to their homes.
