The mayor of Norcia said Friday
the quake-hit Umbrian town wanted to return to normal as soon as
possible after the first of three devastating earthquakes on
August 24 last year.
"A year on from the first quake on August 24 we have one
desire, to return to live, as soon as possible, as we did before
the earthquake, in a city better than the one that the tremor
partly destroyed," Nicola Alemanno told ANSA.
Alemanno also said the town planned to boost its
attractiveness for tourists.
Much of the centre of town including the iconic basilica of
St Benedict was rased by the August quake and two follow-up
tremblers in October.
