Venice has been hit by a series of devastating floods leaving 75% of the city underwater. Tourists and locals alike donned wellies. While public water transport services have been halted across the city. The flooding follows a series of extreme storms. Reportedly, it's the worst flooding since 2012. Meanwhile, in another part of Italy in Rapallo, the storm has wreaked havoc on the local harbour. Sailboats and super-yachts were left battered. Some of them were even sunk by the storm.
People forced to flee their homes by northeastern Italy's deadly floods take shelter in Ravenna's Classis museum of Ravenna, which is offering those displaced camp beds and food aid amidst its vases and sculptures. 10,000 have already been displaced by the floods, according to the authorities, with the death toll rising to at least 13 on Thursday.
