Abstract
Major Comments The manuscript presents a review of the lessons learned from the first special observation period of the HyMeX programme regarding heavy precipitation events (HPEs) in Italy. The main findings of this measurement campaign are contextualised and broken down separately for the three Italian target areas that were defined within the research programme. The text is clear and well-constructed; the references are complete and appropriate. The main conclusions are adequately set out. In all, this is a very interesting article that provides an excellent synthesis of the stateoftheart knowledge of HPEs occurring in Italy and more broadly (but in less detail) around the western Mediterranean basin. I have only essentially technical remarks (see below) and I therefore recommend that the manuscript be accepted once these technical corrections have been made.
