The total solar eclipse occurred yesterday, visible from much of Europe, Northwest Africa, and North America. In Italy, the phenomenon began around 7:30 PM, peaking at approximately 8:20 PM.

Despite the clouds covering the sky in some areas, many spectators witnessed the event, marking the first significant eclipse in Europe in the last 27 years, according to reports from ANSA.

The eclipse coverage in Italy was only partial, with significant variations depending on the observers' geographic location, leading to some disappointment due to the weather conditions.
