Basilica del Santo almost intact


From Cantuale Antonianum (in our sidebar): despite reports to the contrary, this morning's earthquake in Northeast Italy has left only very minor damage, apparently, in the Basilica of Saint Anthony, in Padua - the image is of the only damage noticed in the building.

It is the latest of several stronger than usual quakes to hit northern Italy in the past few weeks - fifteen people died in today's event (requiescant in pace).
