#Terremoto80 Era la sera del #23novembre di 40 anni fa. La scossa durò poco più di un minuto. All'indomani del sisma in Irpinia il cantautore Pino Daniele scrisse una intensa canzone. Dura poco più di un minuto “E' Sempe Sera” pic.twitter.com/92uXv2xmua

November 23, 1980, a magnitude 6.8 #earthquake hits the Italian city of Irpinia (Italy), 2.600 people are killed. The shaking was so strong that the needle of this seismometer broke off https://t.co/xF6hfNW2wm pic.twitter.com/ytdLk7pCU5

#OnThisDay 40 years ago, remembering about 3000 casualties ??. It was a Sunday afternoon and I was strolling with friends less than 50 miles from the epicentre -a feeling that cannot be forgotten. https://t.co/njoyALHi20

Today it's 40 years since the earthquake in Irpinia, southern Italy, that caused 3,000 deaths. In the following days, the Naples newspaper titled “Hurry up”, and then Andy Warhol made it a masterpiece for Lucio Amelio's “Terrae motus” collection: https://t.co/zj4EmmSxOd pic.twitter.com/sGEGeXM0p6

Quarant’anni fa, il #23novembre del 1980, la terra trema in Irpinia provocando migliaia di morti. Un giorno tragico che #RaiTeche e il poeta Franco Arminio fanno rivivere in:
“Fate presto, 23 novembre 1980, storia di un terremoto”

People from across Italy were involved in the rescue and rebuilding effort, and aid in various forms came from far and wide over the following months and years.
#23novembre 1980, il #terremoto in #Irpinia. Durò oltre un minuto la terribile scossa che in una sera d'inizio inverno di 40 anni fa rase al suolo 36 paesi al confine tra la Campania e la Basilicata. Una tragedia immane che commuove e addolora, ora come allora.#Terremoto80 pic.twitter.com/GlNhmjIb8h

In 1981 when we purchased a new Mobile Library, our old vehicle was sent from #Orkney to Basilicat in the south of Italy to provide a temporary school library service following the devastating Irpinia earthquake which struck in November 1980. pic.twitter.com/HVLEsJ0n6T

Today the University of Basilicata, in Potenza, was built on a site where buildings were flattened by the earthquake.
It was built partly as an attempt to stop, or at least slow down, the emigration of young people from the south to other parts of the country and abroad.
T university was completed in 1991, and the then-President of italy, Francesco Cossiga, addressed students in a lecture hall, saying: “My invitation to you is to have the courage to stay in the unfortunate south, in this poor land of yours.”
