At least four people have died after storms led to extensive flooding and landslides in Switzerland and northern Italy. The bodies of three people were recovered following a landslide in the Fontana area of the Maggia valley in the Italian-speaking Ticino state on the southern side of the Swiss Alps. Both southern and western parts of Switzerland have been affected by heavy rain. Campsites along the River Maggia have been evacuated, while part of the Visletto road bridge collapsed.
Floods, thunderstorms and landslides have also hit various regions in northern Italy. Italian firefighters in the northern Piedmont region said they carried out about 80 rescue operations, evacuating dozens of people. Two adults and a three-month-old girl were rescued after rising waters left them stuck in their car between Montanaro and San Benigno Canavese, firefighters said. In the Valle D'Aosta region, several villages were isolated because of overflowing streams.
