At least 180 dead after the earthquake in Aquila, Onna and Paganica in Italy.
The earthquake that was triggered at 3.00 am in the Italian city L'Aquila and affected all the surrounding villages, arriving to the capital city Rome.
It reached the magnitudo of 6.5 point (Richter) in its core and destroyed many buildings, even a whole village (Onna), and claimed several victims (at least 180 people died, other 250 are missing).
I took pictures from the villages of Onna and Paganica, those that received the highest damages among the many affected.
The pics were taken the day after the night when the earthquake started and while other secondary sismas were still affecting the villages.
