Search resumes for man missing following storm in Liguria

This morning at dawn, the search resumed Davide Violinthe 62-year-old man who disappeared yesterday afternoon in the hills of Arenzano, in the Genoa region. Violin is a well-known restaurateur in the area and is the husband of the environmental councilor of the municipality of Arenzano, Lucia Ferrari.

The crumpled car

The man disappeared yesterday afternoon due to the storm that hit the Savona area and the western part of Genoa, particularly Varazze, Cogoleto and Arenzano, where a self-regenerating storm formed. The violin was located in Via Pecorara, in the town of Terralba. According to what his wife reported, he was submerged by a landslide caused by the flooding of a stream. There were three cars in the area, one of which was found crumpled. It is unclear whether Violin had left his home to shelter his car from the fury of the storm. The search involves firefighters, civil protection, carabinieri, state police, local police and the port authority. During the night, there were numerous interventions by firefighters in connection with the bad weather. In Via Biscaggia, in the municipality of Mele, in the Genoese hinterland, a landslide isolated the residents of three buildings, who were evacuated last night. In Genoa, landslides are reported in Via Acquasanta, closed to traffic at number 72, and in Via Fiorino, closed to traffic at Viale Malenchini. The orange alert continues over most of the region until 2 p.m.

Weather alert

“With the current orange alert in the coming hours in central and western Liguria, including in the hinterland, citizens are advised to exercise extreme caution due to the risk of very strong and persistent localized thunderstorms which may cause landslides or sudden swellings of watercourses. The western city, along with Cogoleto, was hit in the afternoon by a violent self-replenishing storm that dumped 170 millimeters of rain in two hours, causing flooding and landslides.
