The storm that hit Naples and the surrounding province once again made roads impassable, resembling rivers and streams. In the Posillipo area, water surged over the sidewalks. The same occurred on Via Marina, Via Acton, and the Riviera di Chiaia. Traffic was blocked on downtown streets and on the ring road. The heavy rainfall that hit the Phlegraean Fields this afternoon created numerous disruptions, especially in the suburbs. In the hilly area of ​​Cigliano, the access road collapsed once again. Several cars remained stuck in the mud and sinkholes that had formed. Residents were trapped and unable to return to their homes. The road has been undergoing sewer work for several months, and the rain has exacerbated the already significant disruption. Other critical situations occurred between Monterusciello and Licola, with flooding of the arterial road connecting the two neighborhoods. The road is currently closed to traffic in both directions. Flooding has occurred on streets, driveways, and ground floors in Licola Mare, as well as along the seafront between Pozzuoli and Bagnoli. Problems have also been reported with rail connections between Pozzuoli and the capital. Connections were interrupted for several hours. "When it rains, Naples becomes a picturesque postcard, like Venice. And for this we have De Magistris to thank. This municipal management has truly failed in every way." This is the sarcastic comment from the leader of the "L'altra Italia" movement, Giuseppe Alviti.
