ROME—Violent storms battered Italy for a third consecutive day on Oct. 30, killing at least 11 people, and flooding much of Venice.
The lagoon city’s St. Mark’s Square remained under water for a second day while the adjacent St. Mark’s Basilica was also inundated, with its baptistery totally flooded and its historic, mosaic floors covered by 90 cm (2.95 ft) of water.
