Huge piles of people's belongings will need to be disposed of after they were destroyed by mud during last week's devastating floods in Italy.
Roads in several cities and towns are lined up with clothes, beds, cupboards, sofas, TVs, books, and all sorts of personal items that residents lost during the weather emergency in the northeastern region of Emilia Romagna.
In Faenza, a city in the province of Ravenna, 30 tonnes of rubbish - usually produced in one year - are now amassed along roads and in the outskirts of the town following heavy floods between May 16 and May 17.
