Earthquake Strikes City Amid Devout Civil Procession
Reports from Genoa describe a violent tremor between the nights of the 22nd and 23rd that sent inhabitants fleeing and caused church walls to crack. Two nuns died in a convent dormitory collapse, and a nobleman perished with his family under ruins. A grand procession followed to atone, and public spectacles were banned for fifteen days.
