A spate of wildfires, most likely caused by arsonists, has affected several Italian regions from north to south. Hundreds of homes in the countryside around Rome and Naples have been evacuated while almost 30 thousand hectares of land went up in smoke.
As our correspondent Max Civili reports local institutions are calling on the government to declare a state of emergency.
