One dies in violent storm pounding Milan
The 63-year-old woman died in the town of Robecchetto con Induno, west of Milan, as she was returning from a walk with two other people who were injured in the incident and have been hospitalised, the firefighters said.
Firefighters have dealt with about 50 incidents so far, with another 37 still pending. Most involve dangerous trees, flooded basements and taverns, and advertising billboards torn down by strong winds.
According to Italian news agency Ansa, heavy rains also hit the eastern Veneto region, where bad weather swept areas around the cities of Belluno and Vicenza, as well as parts of Tuscany, where falling trees were also reported.
While rain and gales pounded the north, temperatures remained close to 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) in much of southern and central Italy, including in Rome.
Much of Europe has sweltered in an early summer heatwave which officials have linked to at least eight deaths on the continent.

Harrowing photos show what's left of volunteer fire chief's vehicle after he was swept away in Texas floods
A desperate search was under way for a volunteer fire chief who disappeared when floodwaters swept away his emergency vehicle near Cow Creek in Texas Hill Country. Past president of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, Gary Ludwig, said that Fire Chief Michael Phillips, of the Marble Falls Volunteer Fire Department, went missing early Saturday after being swept away by floodwaters while responding to a call near Cow Creek in Travis County, Texas, 50 miles from Austin, Texas. "Chief Phillips was driving an emergency vehicle when he went missing late this morning," Ludwig wrote in a post on Facebook. "The vehicle has been found; however, the Chief has not been found with the vehicle, or anywhere else as of yet," he continued. Harrowing images of Phillips' truck show it completely smashed and covered in flood debris. Ludwig said Phillips was still missing as of Sunday evening. The Burnet County Sheriff's Office said that it is "actively searching for Phillips," with the search area being focused on three distinct areas off FM 1431 between Faith Academy and the Cow Creek area, with an additional search underway north of US Highway 281 near Hamilton Creek in Burnet. "As of the time of this post, there are 5 known missing individuals, and we currently have recovered the remains of 3 individuals," the sheriff's office wrote in a post on their Facebook page Sunday evening. During a news conference on Monday, Burnet County Sheriff Calvin Boyd emphasized that teams remain dedicated to the ongoing search until all missing individuals are located, KVUE reported. Over the weekend, officials said intense flooding swept through the region, complicating their search operations and that continued rainfall has further damaged infrastructure, making it challenging for crews to reach lower-lying areas. Authorities noted that some methods of search—such as horseback or ATV patrols—are currently not viable due to hazardous conditions. Numerous low-water crossings and bridges remain in need of repair before emergency teams can fully access all affected locations. According to his Facebook profile, Phillips has served as a volunteer fire chief since 1995. Fox News Digital reached out to the Marble Falls Fire Department and the Burnet County Sheriff's Office, but did not immediately receive a response. On Monday, the White House said at least 91 people were killed in central Texas in flash flooding that began early on the morning of the Fourth of July. The National Weather Service also issued multiple Flash Flood Warnings on Monday for counties in central Texas. Stepheny Price is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
