An exceptional situation which, however, yesterday morning forced Milena Zanna, new mayor of Valsamoggia, to also close via Serretti in Savigno and via Pravazzano in Monteveglio, while via Segaticcio in Savigno was interrupted approximately 50 meters from the intersection with via Saint Prospero. Signs appeared on site indicating possible alternative routes for via Archettina or via Tolè. “The flooding of the Rio – says the mayor Zanna – pushed us to monitor the landslides and mud avalanches on the road and on Via Pravazzano.
