In Rome a woman died after being hit by a tree, which crashed to the ground, perhaps due to strong gusts of wind.
It happened in via di Donna Olimpia, in the Gianicolense area.
118, police and firefighters were on site, but attempts to save her life were in vain.
According to what we learn, the victim was 81 years old and was in the company of his son, who remained unharmed, but was rescued in a state of shock.
As a precaution, the stretch was closed to pedestrians on both sides to carry out checks on the other trees.
