Continued hardships in Emilia-Romagna due to bad weather, with at least nine deaths confirmed last night and a morning that saw the Municipality of Ravenna issue an immediate evacuation order for the areas of Villanova di Ravenna, Filetto, and Roncalceci, flood risk due to the Lamone's breakup between Reda and Fossolo. As a result, the expectation for the CDM next Tuesday, May 23, has grown, with the Minister of Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, predicting that "the state of calamity will be deliberate." Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, on the other hand, is in Japan today for the G7, where she received condolences from Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. As the damage increases and the government develops its first hypotheses for managing the situation, such as social shock absorbers for the agricultural sector and the temporary postponement of hearings, we begin to calculate the damages. Stefano Bonaccini, president of the Emilia-Romagna Region and a guest on Rai3, estimated the damage at "a few billion euros." This figure will inevitably rise in the coming days.
