Ischia. Bad weather: a large pine tree falls on a school. The six mayors of the island order the closure of schools. Tomorrow all schools of all levels on the island of Ischia will remain closed. The six mayors of the island decided this at the end of a summit that ended in the evening. The decision was made due to traffic problems along the entire perimeter of the island. Today's bad weather caused numerous trees to fall, with rainwater pouring down stones and soil everywhere: hence the need to clear the roads and make traffic safe. A large "Mediterranean pine" fell on the elementary school of Fiaiano, in the municipality of Barano d'Ischia. No damage was reportedly detected by the technicians of the municipality who will carry out further technical checks tomorrow. The tree fell at around 15,30:XNUMX p.m., with the school closed, but even in the morning the building remained without children inside as the mayor Dionigi Gaudioso closed the schools in the morning due to bad weather, which was expected to worsen in the afternoon. Maritime connections were suspended for the entire day and the islands of Ischia and Procida were isolated due to the bad weather.
