Italy quake spares lives but strikes at nation’s identity
A third strong quake in two months spared casualties but devastated Norcia and Amatrice landmarks, destroying the 14th century Basilica of St Benedict and the Cathedral of St Mary Argentea. Cracked Roman walls and Baroque churches ranged from Norcia to Rome as Premier Renzi vowed rebuilding. No fatalities were reported and thousands relocated awaiting repairs amid Vatican and regional tolls.
