(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 8 - Italian firefighters rescued 40 children after their nursery school flooded due to a torrential downpour in Rome Tuesday.

    The school is in via Castelnuovo di Porto, near the Milvian Bridge in the centre of the Italian capital.
    The fire brigade answered over 50 flooding calls in Rome on Tuesday.
