Wildfires are among the most common forms of natural disaster in many regions. Climate change has increased the probability and severity of wildfires across Europe, fueled by heatwaves and facilitated by drought which is uncommon since the past 500 years. Forest fires in 2017 have been recorded as one of the worst one during the last 30 years for Italy as vast fire occurrences have taken place during summer, adding to the already important events in the autumn season. In 2017, almost the whole Italian National territory suffered a period characterized by very high temperatures and absence of significant rain processes.
