London unable to pall (or I should be tired of life) it is Spring that brings me back. And I am greeted by another earthquake. Florence shook more than Bloomsbury but that was not really the reason why the civil protection forces and drills operated here - there aren't any civil protection forces and drills in Bloomsbury.
Geologists have defined the area bounded by Santa Maria Novella, via della Scala, the river, and the Cascine as most at risk in the city. Moral - always live in the eastern parts of the loveliest parts of a city; it tends to be cheaper and avoids the worst depredations of the state and of nature.
Still, bits of the painted ceilings floated down; it feels dreadful sweeping them up.
Monculi di Sopra suffered no damage, the denizens would be claiming for everything if it had.
