Heavy rains have caused major floodings in central Italy, where trains were stopped and schools were closed in many towns while people were asked to leave the ground floors of their homes and to avoid going out. Five people have died after the floodings across Italy's northern Emilia Romagna region, a local official said. (Photo by Alessandro SERRANO / AFP)
Un couple d’agriculteurs âgés de plus de 70 ans ont été retrouvés morts dans leur appartement envahi par l’eau.
