The page should be deleted since after checking the citations provided, the citation does not match on the article since the climate data on the citation only provides historical data for a couple of days, not back to 1670 as the article claims. The citation neither has info related to humidity, sunshine data, and temperature records, which means the entire article is unsourced with made up/fake data. After extensive checking and searching for available meteorological data in both English and Italian, I could not find any reliable sources related to sunshine data, record temperatures or humidity meaning the entire article is unsourced with made up data. This fulfills the criteria in WP:DEL6 and WP:DEL7. The page was created by a user who has been globally blocked, suggesting that the user is likely a sockpuppet of another user with similar editing patterns, fulfilling the speedy deletion criteria WP:G5.

 * Comment Indeed it appears likely that most of the data are fabricated. However there is a related article in Italian WP, reporting data from 1960, which appears more credible. This site provides data from 1973 onwards. The topic itself is quite encyclopedic. 84.73.134.206 (talk) 14:57, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment: I added an interlink to the italian article. It looks totally different fron the english version, with data starting from 1960. Maybe this page could be re-written translating the Italian version, which seems not so bad sourced and quite reliable.--Pampuco (talk) 18:25, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
