School in tents, town hall in a restaurant: Tredozio is urgently seeking help from the Italian government
- The school building has to be demolished: lessons will temporarily continue to take place in tents.
- Damaged town hall: municipal administration is relocated to a restaurant.
- City tower at risk of collapse must be fenced off and restored in consultation with the supervisory authority: historical center and surrounding houses in “red zone”.
Nevertheless, one can speak of a happy accident. Because: If the quake had lasted 20 seconds longer, many buildings would have collapsed and dozens of people would have been victims of the disaster, an expert told Südtirol News. Damaged streets and destroyed buildings – the village faces extensive restoration and reconstruction work. The mayor has therefore applied for a national emergency for faster financial support. As part of the inspection, a report was prepared as a basis for the government to make decisions.
