2012 Italian earthquake

A couple of weeks ago,  on May 20th 2012, a 6.1  Richter earthquake  woke up at 4.03  a.m.  Ferrara and whole Emilia, with the result of 6 casualties, historical buildings in ruin, and several cracks in houses and industrial buildings. It’s very shocking to see  on tv all this desperation and ruins, especially because we have friends living in that area, and we know it should be very difficult for them in these days.
