More flooding and evacuations in Emilia-Romagna, mainly in the province of Ravenna. On the fourth day of the flooding, the weather alert continues and the rain has returned. And dramatically the death toll has risen, with the fourteenth body found in Faenza. It is 84-year-old man, found dead lying in mud in the yard of his home. The road system is slowly returning to normal, although many road sections are still blocked due to mud and water. Last night in Ferrara, despite the controversy, Bruce Springsteen took the stage. About 50 thousand spectators listened to the Boss live after the city mayor Alan Fabbri gave the green light. Precisely because of the City Hall's permission, some friction arose on the institutional front with the Region. "It's true that Ferrara has been touched very little" by the bad weather damage, but "perhaps it could have been postponed," said Region President Stefano Bonaccini this morning, who, however, immediately tried to dampen tempers: "However, I don't want to get into this controversy, I think everything went well last night and this is the most important thing".
