I don't know if any of you were aware of the devastating earthquakes hitting the north of Italy these last months.
I wasn't, shame on me.
The first earthquake, registering magnitude 6.1, struck in the Emilia-Romagna region, on 20 May 2012.
Two aftershocks of magnitude 5.2 occurred few hours after the main event and seven people were killed.
Nine days later, on May 29, a magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck the same area causing an additional eighteen deaths and widespread damage, particularly to buildings already weakened by the 20 May earthquake.
And again on June 3, 4 and 6 aftershocks struck the region, causing panic between people, who still don't know if this incubus is going to continue...
The damages of these earthquakes are terrible: 26 people died and thousands are homeless, living in tents.
The whole economy of the country was brought to its knees.
