The fire brigade said that a woman in her 70s and her son in his 40s went missing from the area of San Felice a Cancello, near Naples, which was affected by landslides.
The two were still missing as of midnight (2200 GMT Tuesday).
According to the ANSA news agency, heavy rains triggered the landslide that hit the town at the bottom of a hill.
