(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 19 - Two people are missing in Emilia-Romagna floods caused by torrential rain, Deputy Transport Minister Galeazzo Bignami told a press conference on the situation at Palazzo Chici in Rome Thursday.
    "The pair are missing at Bagnacavallo (near Ravenna) after a roof where they had taken shelter collapsed," he said.
    Bagnacavallo Mayor Matteo Giacomoni told ANSA: "We are working to save all the people we can. It's not a nice situation".
    He said the river Lamone had broken its banks at Traversara causing widespread flooding.
    People are being rescued from rooftops, he said.
