Italy's Emilia Romagna region will recover from the devastating floods that hit this week by taking from lessons learned from the 2012 earthquake, its governor said Friday, as the death toll from the disaster rose to 14.
"If there is a lesson we learned from the earthquake, it is that any emergency calls for prompt and rapid reconstruction" regional President Stefano Bonaccini said.
Reuters video footage from the town of Lugo in Emilia-Romagna showed cars submerged in water and flooded homes, as some residents rode bicycles or paddled through the watery streets.
