A landslide isolates Celenza

The snow - in 2005 the heaviest snowfalls in the last decades - is now melting and the risk of landslides in the Province of Chieti is great. Since 10 March Celenza on the Trigno is almost isolated, after a slide in the area of "Mandrella" blocked road SP 203. A lady driving just at that time barely avoided falling with her car into the ravine. Only very small cars and with great risk can drive now along the only road, no buses or trucks. The condition of possible calamity was ascertained also for other villages in the area.
