Bologna is grappling with severe weather conditions, prompting the mayor to close schools and postpone the Bologna-Milan football match.

The city has been hit hard by recent floods, weakening its infrastructure and leading to safety concerns.

The decision to delay the match, originally scheduled for October 25, aims to prevent public safety issues as the area struggles with road closures and debris.

Meanwhile, the Serie A League is exploring alternatives, including playing the match at a neutral venue or behind closed doors.

The ongoing weather alert has also led to nearly 3,000 evacuations across the Emilia-Romagna region, with authorities urging residents to stay indoors and limit travel.
