More than 100 people were injured by hail the size of a tennis ball in northern Italian towns and villages.
According to the report of the American broadcasting organization, the diameter of the hailstones was 10 cm. The local authorities were also shocked.
Emergency services received more than 500 calls from citizens requesting help.
Videos and photos of large hail and the damage that followed are also going viral on social media.
In the sudden storm, the windows of many buildings were broken and many trees fell.
The local official said that the wave of bad weather first affected the hilly areas and is now affecting the plains as well.
The wind speed reached up to 140 km per hour in the affected areas.
The Italian newspaper reported that the trees snapped like fine wood, with metal roofs blown off several houses hundreds of meters away.
