The 2017 Livorno floods took place in Livorno, Italy between 9 and 10 September 2017, causing the death of eight people. The floods were caused by an unusually heavy storm that began on the evening of 9 September and continued on 10 September, and caused over 250 millimeters of rain to fall between 2:00 A.M. and 4:00 A.M. This resulted in the Rio Maggiore and the Rio Ardenza overflowing. The surrounding areas, such as the municipality of Collesalvetti, were also affected by flooding.
