Storms rage in Italy: ski area evacuated - valley cut off from the outside world. Landslides occur in the region around Lake Maggiore and avalanches occur in high altitudes.
The region's fire brigade reported forty operations on the night of Easter Sunday, and over the past few days there have been more than 100 operations. There are no reports of injuries or deaths from the storms, but the Anzasca Valley was cut off for half a day after an avalanche.
