Terremoto (Earthquake) 2009
The disastrous Earthquake in April 2009 affected much more
than just the town of L’Aquila as reported in the English Press.
For some, things are getting back to normal some 16 years
later BUT many are STILL struggling with the effects and will
be for some time! Especially with rebuilding in appropriate
ways. This makes it difficult for Tourists/Holiday Makers/
Foreign Home Owners as they do not wish to intrude but need
to know which areas are OK to visit? As time goes on, I will
list any areas still to be avoided BUT FIRST .... Checkout
some of John’s poetry which may give you an understanding
of the problems:
Poem1: Terrormoto 2009 (Written a few weeks after
the Earthquake)
