NORCIA AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE Dozens of historic buildings have been destroyed or seriously damaged by the 6.6 magnitude quake. It was the most powerful earthquake to hit Italy since 1980, striking a blow to the regions of Marche and Umbria just days after they were hit by two other earthquakes. It also frightened and displaced thousands of already-jittery residents who have seen the ancient structures and walls in their towns, including the San Benedetto basilica in Norcia, which is considered a sacred site, crumble into heaps on the street. The basilica is said to have been built in the first century atop the birthplace of St. Benedict; it attracts about 50,000 visitors a year. Description source: Internet Photos: Vinicio Tassani
