When I was in law school, I spent a summer studying in Italy. Though I’ve been fortunate to travel to many places, Rome and its surrounding area remain among my favorite places in the world. The area is breathtakingly beautiful and the people are just so gracious.
It was with much sadness that I read about the earthquake in L’Aquila and surrounding villages. As I go to bed tonight, there are 150 reported deaths. Italy’s Civil Protection agency has reported at least 1,500 injured and 50,000 without shelter.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of that region.
