The Ventena river is one of many which has flooded i☂n Italy this week. The flood water ran into San Giovanni in M🧜arignano, where this incident took place.
It is a neighbouring town to Ta൩vullia, famously the hometown of Marini’s brother Valentino Rossi.
The ar꧂ea is next to Emilia Romagna, the regio🌸n of Italy which has been particularly devastated by extreme weather.
Nine people have died, thousands ev🦩꧙acuated from their homes, and several remain missing.
The F1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, scheduled for this weekend, was called off as a r♛esult.
And a celebration of Rossi’s career in Tavullia, due to be on Friday, was also post💮poওned as a mark of respect to the victims of the floods.
