medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear All, The press coverage of the earthquake that struck L'Aquila (AQ) in Abruzzo this morning has of course focussed on the human loss (at least 92 reported dead).

Some of the affected churches are listed here: http://www.wallstreetitalia.com/articolo.asp?art_id=692489 These include Santa Maria di Collemaggio, the resting place of St. Peter Celestine (Celestine V); Santa Maria Paganica, and San Silvestro.
