In the second half of October, Italy was struck by a frightening wave of storms that caused damage
everywhere, the places most affected are the Liguria and Tuscany, two of our most beautiful regions.
Those of you who do not know the Cinque Terre?

| Monterosso, Five Lands, Italy |

| Vernazza, Five Lands, Italy |
Five wonders of nature, a Mediterranean area, which is one of the most pristine of Liguria, and the Tyrrhenian coast. Five miles of rocky coastline enclosed by two headlands, five small towns castled up on spurs of stone into tiny coves, wonderful trails, wild natural environment.
Of which is now no trace remains.
Two of the five small towns have been destroyed, along with other Italian cities that have suffered serious damage. Ten victims, missing, wounded, broken families, people who have lost their homes, their shop, loved places, all overwhelmed by a terrible flood of water that has crumpled cars, uprooted trees and brought it all away.

And many others, are the cities we'd like to speak to you, we would like you saw how large and small villages were isolated, and the witness the terror of the inhabitants. And the flood is going on, today is arrived in Genova.
In Monterosso, just a month ago was inaugurated elementary and middle school "Enrico Fermi", which hosts a hundreds of children and which had been renovated and made safe with seismic retrofitting.
Now it is closed again and is severely damaged by the river of mud that has overwhelmed.
