ROME (AP) - Two people are dead and two missing in a landslide that swept through an Alpine valley as heavy rains batter northeast Italy.
The Civil Protection says the two people died Thursday when their home in the Pellice Valley was hit by the slide. Rescuers are still searching for a missing woman and her child.
After days of heavy rains in the Piedmont region, authorities monitoring the levels of rivers in the area have raised the alarm over possible floods.
The ANSA news agency says dozens of people living near the Dora Riparia river were evacuated from a village west of Turin. The river flows through Turin, where it meets the larger Po river, and bridges in the city have been closed or are being closely monitored as the waters rise.
