What a wonderful project to work on @ErmesT. And I can't believe it's already been a year. I remember the day the earthquake happened. The whole world was so shocked by this massive natural disaster. I remember watching @LucioV's video on Norcia. It felt so sad to see the historical city being ruined. Italy must be very proud to have people like you who voluntarily came forward to re build the city, to bring lives to those historical sites, to preserve the history of human civilization. All the best Ermes and Lucio and may other Italians, who are working hard behind this project.
I hope one day I can visit the places in person.

Our land may be generous, give us more than we need. Our land may be not forgiving, give us more challenge than we want.
The Power of Nature always keep us humble. One moment, we lost most if not all that we cared most.
People need help. Land need help. Society need help.
Local Guides will always find ways to help. Because we care.
Thank you @ErmesT to bring this story to us. It reminds us that we can think big and make great impacts.

Thanks @YK1001 for your important words. You are right an we, first, we need help.
We care, and this is the base. No heroes, no big actions. Life is a step by step story, and the longest way is only a long sequence of small steps.
And a step, is something that everyone can do. A little, simple, single step. Then, one more ...

Wow, @NaYeM It's hard for me to believe it's been a year already. In a year, so much has happened and I remember the devastating news, feeling so saddened by it and again reading your post here in Connect. To see something so beautiful come out of this terrible thing has been amazing!

Thanks to all of you for your kind words
During one of our meetup in the area, we had a small earthquake too. Only a 3.1 Richter, for a few seconds. Not so strong, but enough to understand why there is people that, after one year, refuse to enter in all the buildings.
Thanks a lot for your attention and your support, it is important for our group.
L'abbraccio è voluto e dovuto. Sei stata una delle prime persone a capire e sostenere. Hope to meet you in person, soon
