Catastrophic flooding in Valencia dominated Italian media coverage throughout October 30. Initial reports in the morning cited 13 deaths, rapidly escalating to 51 by midday, including children. As the day progressed, the death toll rose steadily, reaching 95 by evening, with many still missing. The disaster was described as unprecedented, with eight months' worth of rain falling in just hours. The crisis expanded to other regions, with alerts issued for Barcelona. In parallel, political tensions simmered as Meloni criticized judges over migration policies and Elkann's absence from a parliamentary hearing drew ire. The day concluded with reports of record profits for tech giants Microsoft and Meta, contrasting sharply with the human tragedy unfolding in Spain.
