This city suffered a very strong earthquake in 2009. They are still under construction (after more than 10 years) so you can still see the work sites all around the square and along the streets near it. The space is large, the fountain is well cared for and often activities are carried out (concerts, market...), but looking around you will feel a strange feeling, as if there was something wrong. Many buildings have been rebuilt with a "fake" Roman style while many other structures are still under restoration. The strength of the inhabitants shines through from the fully operational activities, in the same way shines through the weakness of those who could do more. The place is absolutely to visit.
