Destructive Earthquakes Reach Naples and Italian Cities
Telegrams from Naples describe a devastating quake near Foggia with aftershocks and famine risk. Cerignola churches collapse, towns like Barletta and Biolfetta damaged, 500 dead by March 24, many buried, with survivors sleeping outdoors. Letters from Constantinople and Rome note diplomacy, campaigns, and court intrigues as Vienna and Paris report on Italy and Turkey.
