Modena, Northern Italy

Cover Illustration. San Felice sul Panaro, Modena, northern Italy. The San Felice Vescovo Church, built 1499, was completely destroyed by an earthquake, which struck a vast area of the Po Plain on 20 May 2014. As visible, many near ancient buildings did not suffer similar damages. This proves that the effect of the seismic shock is strongly dependent also from structural features of the building. Photo.
