Recent strong winds and stormy waters
have caused over 100 million euros worth of damage to bathing
establishments, seaside restaurants and other resort facilities
along the Italian coast according to preliminary estimates
presented by the Italian bathing establishments union SIB on
Saturday.
"From Liguria to Tuscany, from Lazio to Campania, from Friuli
Venezia Giulia to Veneto, thousands of bathing establishments,
restaurants and other coastal infrastructure have been seriously
damaged or destroyed by the wind and the strong sea storms of
recent days," said SIB President Antonio Capacchione, adding
that "no coastal resort has been spared".
Initial estimates put the damage at "over 100 million euro",
"not counting the damage caused by coastal erosion", he added.
The SIB leader called on the government for "certainties for the
future".
