According to forecasts, after a week, the time of reckoning will return to northern Italy, with heavy rain expected in the next few days. Soil that is already saturated with water can lead to dangerous situations, which is why the authorities have issued a warning. Therefore, there will be no lessons on Friday, and the Bologna-Milan match will not take place on Saturday either. 35,000 people will visit the stadium to attend the match, which will expose the organizers to unsolvable problems.

An orange alert has been in effect in the central province of Emilia since Friday, but rain may also affect areas still recovering from last weekend's floods. In Bologna, companies and institutions have been asked to prioritize working from home. Residents' freedom of movement may also be restricted, for example, they will be prohibited from remaining in parks.
Severe thunderstorms are also expected over Piedmont, Liguria and Emilia-Romagna from Friday evening, especially in the central-western part of the Apennine region, where massive lightning and strong wind gusts are expected. (Forget)
