This paper presents the first results of a broad-based study of precipitation behaviour in Italy and focuses on the possible consequences of precipitation changes on urban stormwater management. Analyses of the yearly, seasonal and daily precipitation over the last few centuries have been carried out at various stations throughout Italy (Domodossola, Turin, Milan, Pavia, Genoa, Mantua, Bologna, Florence and Palermo). The study includes the analysis of annual maximum rainfall of different durations (1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours) over a period of about fifty years for nine stations (Domodossola, Turin, Voghera, Mantua, Bologna, Florence, Livorno, Naples and Palermo).
