The residents of Parma are celebrating it’s most famous resident Guiseppe Verdi with concerts and operas throughout October. The concerts and operas are being held at the Teatro Regio and other smaller venues across the city. This year Messa de Requiem and Nabucco are among the pieces being performed. The city will literally be alive with music!!

The National Institute of Geophysics in Rome has said that the epicentre of the earthquake was near Parma. According to Italian news reports, two churches have minor damage but no-one is injured. I have experienced earthquakes before and they are pretty scary stuff! I’m just glad that no-one was injured and that the magnificent architecture of Parma, Milan, Genoa and Florence was not damaged. However, for Italy this earthquake was relatively strong. The last strong earthquake occurred in Molise in 2002 and measured 5.4 on the Richter scale.
