The death toll from storms in Italy has risen to at least 29 after 12 died of poor weather in Sicily on Sunday.
A spokesman for the police in the capital of Sicily, the heavy rains caused landslides and floods, which led to the deaths of 10 people in the area around the city of Palermo, pointing out that people are still missing.
Another official confirmed that two people were killed near the town of Agrigento in Sicily because of a landslide hit a car they were in.
The Italian Civil Protection Agency said the number of people killed by the bad weather was 17, without counting the deaths of Sicily.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte wrote on Twitter that he would travel to Sicily and was in constant contact with officials about the tragic situation in the north of the country.
Italy has been ravaged by rain and storms for several days, uprooting millions of trees and isolating villages and roads. The northern regions of Trentino and Veneto were among the hardest hit.
The governor of Veneto said on Saturday that storm losses in the region were worth at least 1 billion euros.
