Severe weather and heavy rainfall caused significant flooding and infrastructure damage in Chieti, Italy. In early November, extreme rainfall exceeding 100 millimeters led to school closures and water infiltration in public buildings. Mayor Giovanni Legnini noted that the city's hydraulic network was inadequate for such intense precipitation and called for a hydraulic study to address hydrogeological instability.

By November 7, local administrators and officials, led by Provincial President Francesco Menna, protested a lack of government funding to repair damage dating back to April. Menna reported that 396 interventions are required, costing over 130 million euros. Officials expressed concern that communities face isolation regarding healthcare and work as winter approaches, criticizing the allocation of funds toward other national projects instead of local infrastructure repairs.
