At least 207 people have been killed by Monday’s earthquake in central Italy, with 100 residents critically injured, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi says.He said 150 people had been rescued alive so far, and the operation would continue for a further 48 hours and involve 7,000 rescuers.About 1,000 people were injured and 17,000 were left homeless following the pre-dawn quake in the Abruzzo region.Thousands spent the night in emergency accommodation amid continuing tremors.Mr Berlusconi, appearing at a news conference in L’Aquila, the medieval city worst hit, thanked all involved in the rescue effort.”There have been serious risks for the lives of those who are carrying out the rescue operation so far, inside buildings that have been damaged and, following another tremor, could easily collapse,” he said.”So therefore this is a very dangerous situation for the rescuers.”
Home inspections
Hospitals have appealed for help from doctors and nurses throughout Italy.Mr Berlusconi said another 48 hours would be enough to ascertain if anyone else was still alive.”We have tried-and-tested mechanisms for the rescue operations that have been used before by the civil protection agency,” he said.He said that starting from Wednesday specialists would start checking individual buildings.”The most delicate phase begins tomorrow because we have to inspect homes to check the damage,” he said.”We will inspect one room after another in thousands of homes.”Of the 207 who died, Mr Berlusconi said 190 people had been identified and the other 17 were awaiting formal identification.
About 15 people were still thought to be missing, but it was possible they had left the area without notifying authorities or relatives, he said.
As rescue efforts continued:
Survivors spent the night in hotels or at one of several tent camps which have been erected in the medieval hill city.
However, many preferred to sleep in their cars near their homes rather than to move to the camps.
But AFP news agency quoted him as saying he could accept funds from Washington to help restore historical buildings.
Between 3,000 and 10,000 buildings are thought to have been damaged in L’Aquila, making the 13th-Century city of 70,000 uninhabitable for some time.
Parts of many of the ancient churches and castles in and around the city have collapsed.
L’Aquila is considered one of Italy’s architectural treasures, but the age of the buildings makes them vulnerable to quakes.
In the nearby village of Onna, with a population 350, the quake killed at least 38 people and flattened buildings.
Evidence of the human tragedy of the quake is evident, with personal belongings among the rubble of houses, says our correspondent in Onna.
Gianluca Lerici (alias Professor Bad Trip) was one of the most important underground artist in the last 20 years.
It goes without saying that we miss his genius and inspiration, we miss his polemic spirit, his irregardless opposition, with a smile on his mouth; his irriverent “punk” attitude, never conventional, never accomadating he pledged with absolute availability his contribution with experiments of self production: it’s practically impossible to quantify the number of drawings or graphic interventions by the Professor for Fanzines or specialized magazines.
When the city of La Spezia was bestowed with a contemporary art museum, we all thought about Gianluca’s involvement. Nothing. Gianluca was ignored in his city by its authority and unknownn by most. He risks to remain so even today being that he’s no longer among us. This petition is asking that the work of the Professor finally finds a home in a room dedicated to him by the CAMeC, avoiding also the risk that his most significant works will be dispersed around the world.
We believe it’s a rightful act.
For this reason we’re asking you to sign the petition on line:
