about us

A series of severe earthquakes hit central Italy back in the autumn of 2016. The tremors were felt across a large part of Italy, and serious damage was caused in a number of towns and villages in the southern Marche and in neighbouring Umbria and Lazio.

While many homes were damaged in the area of the Sibillini national park, many towns are now back on their feet. In Sarnano, for example, much of the old centro storico is now back to normal.

Towns featured in Marche Voyager that were particularly badly affected were Visso, Camerino and Acquasanta Terme, while Amandola, Sarnano and Calderola  witnessed significant damage but have now brushed themselves down and are back in business.

Earthquakes in the Italian Apennines while strong are localized in their effects; beyond the epicenters and immediate surrounding areas of the quakes last autumn, there has been no little or no damage in the rest of the Marche region
