Windows were smashed, roof tiles damaged and some people and animals were injured.
Meteorologistsforweather.com said the storm was brought on by a vigorous southward plunge of a jet-stream which carved in to western Europe, sending a potent upper disturbance in to the Italian peninsula.
The instability charged up a thunderstorm over the Mediterranean sea which swept in to Italy and caused the hailstones.
