A fresh bout of bad weather pummeled Tuscany and Liguria on Tuesday.
    A so-called 'water bomb' hit the city of Florence early in the morning as storms whipped northern Tuscany.
    Several areas of the city were flooded, in particular the Oltrarno and Galluzzo districts, local police said.
    The intensity of the bad weather also caused damage in Liguria, in particular in Genoa, where firefighters early on Tuesday were searching through the rubble of a collapsed wall to ensure nobody was underneath.
    The bad weather started peltering Liguria overnight with the Entella river overflowing its banks in Chiavari and a landslide reported in Valfontanabuona, where four families had to leave their homes for security reasons.
    A bad weather red alert will remain in force in Tigullio until early in the afternoon while an orange alert is set to remain in Genoa.

Landslides and flood warning levels for rivers are also expected in northern Tuscany due to a fresh bout of bad weather.
    An orange bad weather alert has been enforced in northern areas of the region.
    The town of Mulazzo near Massa Carrara was hit by over 216 millimetres of water over the past 24 hours, regional authorities said.
    The Magra and Bagnone rivers also reached flood warning levels and are being closely monitored, they said.
    Storms have also been forecast in the central part of the region later on Tuesday.
    Meanwhile local authorities in Florence also said later in the morning that nearly 39 millimetres had fallen in just three hours in the Tuscan city, flooding streets that were closed to traffic, including around the Careggi Hospital.
    Tram services were also temporarily suspended.
    A number of roads north of Florence connecting the city to the Mugello area were also temporarily closed to traffic due to the bad weather, which caused the Calza stream to overflow its banks between the towns of Vaglia and Fontebuona.
    Florence Mayor Sara Funaro said the situation was improving late in the morning while urging drivers to exercise caution.
