The move was widely expected by economists after inflation in the three months through September showed prices of services, fuel, and rents climbing again.

Veneția a fost inundată de o maree de aproape un metru și jumătate, după ce sistemul de protecție MOSE, inaugurat acum două luni, nu a fost activat. Sistemul de protecție care ar trebui să apere Veneția de inundații nu a fost activat din cauza prognozelor meteo eronate. Sistemul, care a costat 6 miliarde de euro și a fost gata după decenii de întârzieri, este format din 78 de bariere instalate pe fundul mării. Acestea se ridică și formează un baraj în funcție de mărimea mareei care, acum, a fost subestimată. Şcolile din regiunea Friuli Venezia-Giulia, nord-est, au fost închise miercuri din cauza riscului de avalanşe, în condiţiile în care nivelul de alertă a fost ridicat la portocaliu.
