Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni visited a southern town in Sicily that has been left teetering on the edge of a cliff after days of heavy rains from a cyclone triggered a huge landslide that brought down properties and forced the evacuation of over 1500 people. The landslide in Niscemi, a town in the southwest of the island, spanned four kilometres. Civil protection crews have created a 150-meter wide “no go zone” in the town, which is just inland from the coastal city of Gela. Sicilian regional officials estimated on Wednesday the overall damage to Sicily stood at two billion euros ($A3.4 billion). Meloni took a helicopter tour of the landslide area and met with local, regional and civil protection officials at the town hall.
