More than 90% of municipalities in Italy are at risk from landslides and other natural disasters, according to the head of civil protection, Fabrizio Curcio.
"94% of municipalities are at risk of flooding, landslides, coastal erosion," Curcio told La Stampa newspaper.
As he added, "the whole of Italy is in danger."
Curzo gave the interview after mudslides caused devastation on Saturday on the island of Ischia and claimed the lives of at least seven people.
The Italian civil protection chief said Ischia faced the greatest risk because many of the houses there were built illegally, but he stressed that other parts of Italy with fewer building code violations were also vulnerable.
