Emergency services were searching for two people who went missing amid flooding and landslides in the southern Italian region of Campania, the fire brigade said late on Tuesday.
The fire brigade said that a woman in her 70s and her son in his 40s went missing from the area of San Felice a Cancello, near Naples, which was affected by landslides.
The two were still missing as of midnight (2200 GMT Tuesday).
According to the ANSA news agency, heavy rains triggered the landslide that hit the town, which sits at the bottom of a hill.
Meanwhile, Firefighters were evacuating residents from the area.
Yellow alert levels for thunderstorms were in place in most of Italy’s centre and south, including the whole of Campania. (dpa/NAN
