Hi Frank, I started a thread a few days ago in the historic Ferrari section on this sad topic: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=368872 I have been through those villages when I lived in Modena in 2006 and during visits, very good warm people so it hurts to see them in this situation, one of them told me aftershocks are constant which is very unnerving.
