Also on Saturday, the Coast Guard reported it rescued one person aboard a Dutch-flagged sailboat whose engine had failed off the coastal city of Crotone in Calabria, in the tip of Italy's boot.
"We saved the one person on board, in spite of high seas and wind blasting up to 60 knots," the Coast Guard tweeted, along with a video of the rescue in the storm.
As well, the Coast Guard said it rescued two leisure boaters off a vessel "that was in the process of sinking due to adverse weather conditions" off the Lazio coast, while heavy winds sent two ferries crashing into each other in the port of Ischia island. No one was injured but both vessels were damaged, according to the Coast Guard.
In a town near the southern city of Naples, a woman and her son were hospitalized after a tree fell on their car, ANSA reported.
The Civil Protection Agency has issued a weather alert extending from the northern region of Tuscany all the way down to Sicily for Sunday, citing "persistent strong or gale-force winds" and "possible sea swells along coastal areas" that could lead to floods or landslides.
