In Rome, which until recently had suffered three months of drought, fast-moving streams ran through the streets, leading to the closure of several subway stations.
Rome City Hall urged residents and visitors to only go outside “for urgent reasons” and to avoid parks on Sunday.
Possible hailstorms and strong winds were predicted throughout the rest of today (Monday).
