Italian firefighters rescued 40
children after their nursery school flooded due to a torrential
downpour in Rome Tuesday.
The kids were taken to a nearby hotel, where their parents
picked them up.
The school is in via Castelnuovo di Porto, near the Milvian
Bridge in the centre of the Italian capital.
The fire brigade answered over 50 flooding calls in Rome on
Tuesday.
Corso Francia, near the bridge, was turned into a "full-fledged
river" by the thunderstorms that have hit Rome and much of the
rest of the country in the last three days.
