People sought refuge on the rooftops of their homes after 21 rivers broke their banks, submerging entire towns.
Among the victims were an elderly man and a couple who owned a company in the agriculture sector, according to Corriere della Sera. The body of a German woman was found on a beach in Cesenatico, a town by the Adriatic coast, but it is unclear if she was killed in the storms. Others are still reported missing.
The Emilia-Romagna Formula One Grand Prix scheduled for this weekend has been cancelled.
"Our thoughts are with the eight victims and those missing," said Stefano Bonaccini, the president of Emilia-Romagna.
Italy's civil protection agency said yesterday there could be worse to come. "The rainfall is not over, it will continue for several hours," the agency's chief, Titti Postiglione, told Sky TG24 news. "We are facing a very, very complicated situation."
There has been heavy rain across Italy in recent days but the worst-affected area has been Emilia-Romagna and parts of the central Marche region, where 12 people died in floods last September.
