Southern Italy has been hit by an unusual cold wave. Heavy snowfall mainly occurred in the Campania region with the capital Naples. Tourists on the Gulf of Naples were treated to a rare natural spectacle on Sunday…
Large parts of Mount Vesuvius were covered in snow after a cold front passed. Not only the top of the 1280 meter high volcano, but also the slopes were covered with snow. It rained heavily in Naples and the city was also hit by gusty winds, media reported.
As the skies cleared over Naples on Sunday morning, a thick layer of snow appeared, visible not only at the top of Mount Vesuvius, but also along much of the ridge.
Users posted images of the snow-capped volcano on social media:
Heavy snowfall also occurred in the province of the port city of Salerno south of Naples, not only in the mountains but also in the hilly areas at lower altitudes.
This caused problems on the roads, with many motorists stranded by the snow. Civil protection vehicles came to the rescue. On social media
