Three days of torrential rain caused widespread floods in Italy’s northern region of Lombardy, killing seven people, injuring 20 and leaving 12 missing. Police said at least seven people died and 20 were injured when flood waters struck a hotel and private homes in the Alpine town of Tartano. At Sondrio, in the same area near the Swiss-Italian border, helicopters rescued 75 boys from a summer camp after a river overflowed, police said.
