At least six people have lost their lives in central Tuscany as Storm Ciaran wreaked havoc in Italy after causing chaos in other parts of Europe. Tuscany Governor Eugenio Giani reported that torrential rain led to devastating flooding from the coastal city of Livorno to the inland valley of Mugello on Friday, resulting in rivers bursting their banks and towns being submerged.
The victims included two elderly individuals from the city of Prato, north of Florence, as confirmed by the Italian news agency ANSA. Additionally, one person lost their life in Albania after losing control of their vehicle, bringing the storm’s death toll across the continent to 14.
