Torrential rains have lashed Italy from its northern Alps to the southern island of Sicily, causing flash floods that killed at least nine people and left six others missing.
Six of the victims were in Borghetto Vara, a village in Liguria known for its grapes, wines and chestnuts.
Rolling waters and mud tore through the village, 75 kilometres from Genoa and near the Cinque Terre, a popular holiday area. At least one building collapsed.
