Dramatic moment, save what can be saved says Musumeci

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 25 - Gales that have reaped death and destruction across Lombardy and wildfires sweeping Sicily have caused a "dramatic moment" in Italian history and authorities must try to "save what can be saved", Civil Protection Minister Nello Musumeci said Tuesday.
    "Right now we have to try to salvage what can be saved. There is a coincidence of elements that makes the situation very complex.
    It is one of the most difficult days from a climatic point of view in recent years," he told SkyTg24.
    "In Sicily, the sirocco does not allow aircraft to get into the air to put out fires. Everything that could be done with the fire brigade, the forestry corps, the civil protection, has been done. The force of nature tends to overwhelm that of man".
