Many areas of Italy braced for storms on Tuesday.

Rome mayor Roberto Gualtieri has ordered the closure of the capital's parks and cemeteries on Tuesday 22 November due to the expected high winds, heavy rain and thunderstorms.

Schools will be shut in the city's Municipio X borough of Ostia, along the coast, as well as in Anzio and Nettuno, south of Rome in the central Lazio region.
