The floods have caused damage “for several billion euros,” said the president of this northeastern Italian region, Stefano Bonaccini, who calculated that six months of rain has fallen in 36 hours.
“The 30 million assigned by the Government are welcome and I appreciate that they make them available immediately, but here we are talking about billions of euros in damages only due to the tragedy of May 2 and 3, when the four-month-old water fell in 36 hours, while yesterday and the day before yesterday six months of water did it in 36 hours,” he explained on Italian public television RAI.
