Marin🐠i was not present, but his future wife was behind the wheel♒. She was unharmed.

𝄹The Ventena river is one of many which has flooded in Italy this week. The flood water ran into San Giovanni in Marignano, where this incident took place.

It is a neighbouring town to Tavullia, famously the hometown of Marini’s brother Va🧸lentino Rossi.

The ♏area is next to Emilia Romagna, the region of Italy which has been particularly devastated by extreme weather.

Nine people h༒ave died, thousands evacuated from their homes, and several remain missing.

The F1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, scheduled for this weekend, ♌was called off as a result.

And a celebration of Rossi’s career in Tavullia, due to be on Friday, 𒊎was also postponed as a mark of respect to the victims ofඣ the floods.
