The Abruzzo regional
government said Monday that around 100,000 people in the central
region were without power due to the wave of snow and freezing
weather than has gripped Italy.
It said the provinces of Chieti, Teramo and Pescara were
worst-hit by the loss of power.
The Chieti council, meanwhile, closed public offices on
Monday and Tuesday due to the weather emergency, with the city
covered in a layer of snow almost one metre high.
Schools and markets have been closed until Wednesday.
