Northern Italy hit by severe storms and tornadoes

Severe weather, including a supercell storm, a tornado, and massive hailstorms, has caused widespread destruction across Northern Italy, particularly in the Lombardy and Veneto regions.

In Cremona, a violent ten-minute storm left approximately 43 people injured and caused catastrophic damage to the city's historic center. Key landmarks, including the Cathedral and the City Hall, suffered structural damage, with the civic tower losing its upper section. At least 10,000 vehicles were damaged by hail, and several families were forced to evacuate their homes due to roof collapses.

Across Lombardy, the storm impacted various provinces including Milan, Bergamo, and Monza. In Milan, authorities preemptively closed all outdoor parks and swimming pools. The agricultural sector has reported significant losses, with hail damaging crops and infrastructure. In the Veneto region, emergency services managed 200 interventions to address flooding, fallen trees, and downed power lines in provinces such as Verona and Venice.

Emergency responders, including firefighters and Civil Protection volunteers, remain active in clearing debris and securing damaged buildings. While weather conditions are expected to improve, the full economic and structural impact on both urban centers and agricultural lands is still being assessed.
