The situation is improving this Sunday, May 21 in Emilia-Romagna, where the water has begun to recede. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni left the G7 in Japan ahead of the other leaders to visit the flooded area and meet with regional officials in Ravenna.

The government has announced a first check for 20 million euros, but the damage is estimated at 5 billion euros. The mayor of Ravenna welcomed this discretion: "We don't need parades. We need help"
