Footage circulating on social media reportedly shows the moment a storm flooded a seaside restaurant as the cyclone hit Sicily.
It is about the consequences of a wave of storms that are said to have hit southern Italy for days, causing chaos and massive damage.
Meanwhile, according to reports, dozens of evacuee families were forced to evacuate to Catania, where the sea, whipped up by strong winds, invaded the city's coastal area.
The Aeolian Islands also suffered storm surges overnight, with the sea invading ports, roads and homes.
Italian farmers have also reported extensive damage to their crops and structures, such as greenhouses, due to the storms. /Telegraph/
