Completely flooded roads, garbage bags floating on cycle paths turned into rapids, an enormous amount of leaves to fill manholes and drains gathering on sidewalks and eyelashes. After the rain that is falling in the last hours, Rome is under water. In different parts of the city, motorcycles and scooters have been blocked, pedestrians are forced to gimcane to find viable stretches, trying to avoid the real waves caused by the accumulation of undrained rainwater, and even cars have been forced to stop for the impracticability of the roads.
