This is the second round of bad weather in Italy inside a year. I was living in Verona during the last period, there were trees floating down the Adige river, they were worried about the bridges collapsing at one point and in the mountains to the north most of the trees got flattened, they were calling it the strage di alberi (massacre of the trees). About 30 people died across Italy in that bout.
Maltempo (bad weather) literally means bad time, which seems appropriate today.
