The tragedy left 299 deaths on August 24, 2016
Italy recalled Sunday (24) the ninth anniversary of the lover’s earthquake, which caused 299 deaths on August 24, 2016 and triggered a long seismic sequence in the center of the country.
With magnitude 6.0 on the Richter scale, the tremor has brought to the ground the historic center of the small city of lover, which is known as the cradle of the sauce in Amatriciana, and destroyed the nearby accounts.
Today, the Amatriice town hall recalled the date with a message in which it highlights a great emotion and a sense of responsibility for the expectations of the population and the needs of a reconstruction that must be accelerated.
“This birthday was first marked by the refusal to formally invite institutions,” says the declaration, adding that the decision was made for two reasons: “Give an exclusive dignity to the pain and mourning of an entire community” and sends “a strong sign of dialogue to politics”.
After the vigil at night, with a torch in procession to the historic center, the return to Don Minozzi Park, the reading of the names of the victims at 3:36 and the touch of Bell, there was also a solemn ceremony for the deposition of flowers by the government monument, also to Don Minozzi Park.
Shortly after, the mass was celebrated in Palazzetto dello Sport, chaired by the Bishop of Rieti, Vito Piccinonna, who in his homily underlined the need to plan the future in a spirit of communion and solidarity.
In addition to the mayor Giorgio Cortellesi, “personal” were present, the commissioner Guido Castelli, the councilor Manuela Rinaldi and the senator Paolo Trancassini.
“This is the moment of awareness, a realistic reconstruction, not an allusion or demagogic,” said Cortellesi.
“We must accelerate the reconstruction, the design of the city of the future, from modern and efficient services to infrastructure, always with the spirit of unity that should characterize a resilient community like ours. And everyone should do their part, none excluded.”
The earthquake of 24 August 2016 killed 238 people in Amatrice, 11 in Accumoli and 50 in Pescara del Throne, a district of Arquata del Throne. .
