NAPLES - This southern port city was plunged into chaos Tuesday after a freak snowstorm, which followed a similar rare event in Rome.
Naples was hit by a heavy snowfall Monday night, causing severely disrupted transport services and the closure of schools. Departing and arriving flights at Capodichino airport have been cancelled, buses are out of action because of “security reasons due to adverse weather conditions,”, and some metro lines have been closed. These disruptions have also reduced services between Naples and Rome.
