Extreme drought and historic heat have caused the River Po's water levels to drop dramatically.
An unexploded World War Two bomb submerged in an Italian river has been revealed due to an extreme drought.Large sections of the 650km river have dried up in Italy's worst drought for 70 years.
"The bomb was found by fishermen on the bank of the Po river," army official Colonel Marco Nasi told Reuters news agency. "At first, some of the inhabitants said they would not move, but in the last few days we think we have persuaded everyone," local mayor Francesco Apori said. The Po is Italy's longest river, flowing from the south-western Alps down to the Adriatic Sea - but annual satellite images from this year show expanding patches of dried-up riverbed as a result of extreme drought.
