The body of a woman has washed up in Italy’s north-western region of Liguria on the morning of 5 October, reports Italian news agency ANSA.
There are no people listed as missing in the Liguria region, reports ANSA, meaning the bodies discovered are likely to be among those declared missing in France.
The president of the Liguria region, Giovanni Toti, has requested a state of disaster, while in the neighbouring Piemonte region the bell-tower of a 16th-century church in Alessandrino collapsed in the torrential rain.
