An intense hailstorm, with grains of ice the size of tennis balls, hit north-eastern Veneto late yesterday afternoon.

The affected areas are, in particular, the areas of the municipalities of Montebelluna, Cornuda, Crocetta del Montello and Pederobba. Areas famous for the cultivation of Prosecco.

The firefighters were busy throughout the night with hundreds of requests for intervention due to the violent storms of water, hail and wind that affected a large part of the region.

The teams of Venice, Treviso, Padua, Vicenza, Verona were called above all for the cutting of plants and trees that have invaded the roadways but also for the removal of skylights, glass and other unsafe elements caused by violent hailstorms and wind.
