Muddy streets were littered with uprooted trees and cars that had been washed away by the floodwaters. Six of the victims were in Borghetto di Vara, a village in Liguria known for its grapes, wines and chestnuts. Turbulent waters and mud tore through the village, 45 miles (75 kilometres) from Genoa and near the Cinque Terre, a popular tourist area. Local resident Ennio Piagi said they were struggling to get supplies. "We haven't had bread for three days. We have nothing. Shops have been knocked down. I have heard that they are bringing in food from Aulla." Another local man Adriano Corona said the floodwaters took everything in their path. "(Floodwater) was pulling everything away: buses, ambulances, all that was possible to destroy. The street became a river." Villages like Aulla in Tuscany, where two people are confirmed dead and one is listed as missing, were covered in knee-deep mud. A local priest Father Giovanni Perini said the Abbey of San Caprasio, had been devastated. "In the space of 30 minutes, all the work we've achieved in archaeological excavation over the past ten years has gone to nothing. The street was like a river and brought up water, mud, everything with it." The Abbey, an archaeological jewel of the area, dates back to the nineteenth century. The restoration work that had been recently completed on the archaeological site had cost about two (m) million euros (2.8 (m) million US dollars).
