Heavy rainfall in parts of Italy has caused severe flooding, with water inundating the streets of Turin in the northern part of the country after a river that runs through the city overflowed, according to local media.
Reports indicate that a 92-year-old man was killed after his home was submerged, while emergency teams continue rescue and assessment operations.
In recent days, the city of Turin has experienced heavy rainfall, resulting in rising water levels and flooding in several residential areas.
Northern Italy is facing a severe climate crisis in April 2025, with heavy rainfall triggering widespread floods and landslides, along with disruptions in regions like Piedmont, South Tyrol, Lombardy, and Tuscany.
More than 100 municipalities in Piedmont, including Turin, have issued the highest-level red alert. Piedmont, located in the northwest of Italy, is the hardest-hit area by the April 2025 rains, with cities like Turin and Crema being devastated by floods. In Turin, roads near the Po River were closed, and the city’s daily routines were severely disrupted.
Local authorities have intensified rescue operations, with firefighters and civil protection teams monitoring rivers and high-risk areas. In some towns, schools and public services were suspended, and residents were advised to avoid unnecessary travel.
