Raging water uprooted trees and swept cars and furniture through the streets.
A fire department spokesman said six people were confirmed dead and one person was missing. Two of the dead were reported to be children.
As two rivers broke their banks, authorities urged residents to move to the upper floors of their buildings.
At least 10 people died in floods that swept the sea coast near Genoa on October 28.
Much of northern Italy was hit by heavy rains, and flooding was also reported in Venice.
