Trenta secondi di terrore...

The 2012 Northern Italy earthquake was a 6.0 magnitude earthquake, which struck about 36 km north of the city of Bologna in northern Italy on 20 May 2012 at 4:03 am local time at a relatively shallow depth of 5.1 kilometers. The epicentre was near San Felice sul Panaro. Two aftershocks, one approximately one hour after the main event, and another eleven hours after measured 5.1 in the moment magnitude scale.

Initial reports listed seven dead including four workers at a factory in Ferrara, and about 5,000 people have been left homeless. At least one hundred structures of historical significance have been damaged or destroyed. Many churches in towns around the epicenter suffered damage. One of the towers of Castello Estense, a moated medieval structure in the center of Ferrara, was damaged in the earthquake; another medieval tower dating from the 13th-century - the torre modinese- in Finale Emilia collapsed. This earthquake is being called the worst in northern Italy since the 1976 Friuli earthquake.
