A jogger has died in a wave of
extreme weather that was battering many parts of Italy on
Friday.
The body of the 61-year-old runner was found on Friday in a
river in Luvinate, in the northern province of Varese, after he
went missing on Thursday.
The man is thought to have been caught in a storm that caused
flash floods and landslides in the area.
Seven regions are on 'orange alert' for the wave of torrential
rain and sporadic storms - Lombardy, Friuli Venezia Giulia,
Tuscany, Lazio, Campania, Basilicata and Sardinia.
Schools in Naples and Livorno were closed on Friday as a result.
