Italy is a country resting on turbulent ground. Since the 1970s, several earthquakes have occurred, resulting in numerous deaths. In 2016, about 300 people died and an estimated 2,500 people lost their homes in an earthquake 80 kilometers southeast of Perugia. Later that year, the medieval city of Norcia was hit hard, as were other places in the regions of Umbria, Marche and Lazio.
