The president of Veneto Luca Zaia canceled today's morning commitments to follow the evolution of the bad weather.
He will be present for a press point on the situation at the regional headquarters of the Civil Protection in Marghera at 12 with the civil protection councilor Gianpaolo Bottacin.
Even this morning, the situation in Vicenza remains very critical
, by far one of the cities most affected by the wave of bad weather.
According to what Mayor Giacomo Possamai explained in a video message recorded at 5 am after a Coc meeting, "the alarm continues: the ring road is closed due to flooding as are numerous roads in the city".
"We ask everyone to limit their movements - the mayor's appeal - to allow rescue and civil protection interventions".
During the night, the Bacchiglione reached 5 and a half meters and this convinced the technicians to open the Caldogno rolling basin, which therefore came into operation.
Several floods are recorded in the city, with numerous neighborhoods paralyzed, especially the train station stadium area and other neighborhoods.
The regional councilor for civil protection Gianpaolo Bottacin, who participated in the Coc meetings and who is coordinating the interventions with the local administrators, has already been present in Vicenza since the night.
He is concerned about the level of the Retrone river, which has overflowed in several places.
At the moment, rail traffic remains closed on the stretch between Vicenza and Padua, interrupted since yesterday afternoon at 4pm. The lines from Vicenza to Treviso and Schio (Vicenza) are also interrupted.
Severe inconvenience for commuters, for whom numerous bus services have been activated.
At the moment the high speed is diverted via Bologna, while regional trains connect Padua and Verona bypassing Vicenza and using the line to Monselice.
Technical inspections are underway to understand the situation between Vicenza and Padua.
