Hi Frances, thanks for the message. We have not been able to contact the estate agents that have our keys, it is the usual story they have your money and then everything else is an afterthought. I am glad the villagers are in good spirits. Is Daniellas store still open or has she had to close? That must be affecting her trade and income. Is your house okay? From the pics on the Carapelle website, we can only see our house from a distance, but it looks intact. Speak to you both soon, Gill.

Hi Gillian, Tom’s wife, Frances here, I returned from Abruzzo yesterday. Went to the village of Carapelle and met with locals, who are staying in la Gliura, all 70 inhabitants living under the one roof. I saw some of the damage to the village, though some areas are inaccesible due to the damage caused by the earthquake. As one approaches the village from the Capestrano side there appears to be most damage to the left of the church which was being renovated, whole buildings have collapsed. Also, there appears to be some damage around the little piazza where the mexican feast was being held, around Via Oberdan. Other than that damage caused seemed to be random, occurring in no particular or place. However, damage caused wasn’t as widespread as I had expected, thankfully and the locals appeared to be in good spirits. I stayed in hotel in Popoli and experienced a tremor on Thursday night which was a scary experience, measured 2.7 magnitude so I can only imagine what the locals must have felt when the big one hit. I hope I have been of some help to you. Have you been able to get in contact with your estate agent and are they a local agency?

Hi Tom, any news from your wife yet on the condition of the village and the residents? I have heard nothing from the estate agents yet, so I presume they have not been up to Carapelle yet. Gill.

Marc,
On Villa Sant’Angelo. Scottish friends called us Sunday morning to say that they had just arrived back from the village.
The people of the village are still in tents and access is only permitted under police escort.
I believe a government official was to be present Monday in the village to assess the damage and what property will have to be demolished due to it being unsafe. As yet we have no results of this.
My family are planning to travel there at the end of April and if you have had no information before that time I will ask them to gather as much information as possible for you.
