In recent days, the levels of the Tiber in Rome have reached one of the lowest points in the last 15 years, according to Rai News. This significant drop in water has been influenced by the heat and drought affecting the capital.

As a result of this situation, the remains of an ancient Roman bridge have emerged, confirming concerns about the river's flow, according to ANSA. These remains provide further evidence of the city's historical heritage.
