The man disappeared yesterday afternoon due to the storm that hit the Savona region and the western part of Genoa, especially Varazze, Cogoleto and Arenzano, where a self-renewing storm formed. The violin was on Via Pecorara in the Terralba district. According to his wife, he may have been submerged as a result of a landslide caused by the overflow of a stream. There were three cars in the area, one of which was found crumpled. It is unclear whether Violin left the house to move her car to safety from the fury of the storm. Firefighters, civil protection, gendarmes, state police, local police and the port authority are participating in the search. Many interventions were made by fire crews due to bad weather throughout the night. Residents of three buildings evacuated last night due to landslides in Via Biscaggia, in the municipality of Mele in the Genoese hinterland, were isolated. In Genoa, landslides were reported on Via Acquasanta, which was closed to traffic at number 72, and on Via Fiorino, which was closed to traffic at Viale Malenchini. The orange alert continues until 14:00 in most of the region.
