The old tower in Finale, Emilia in Italy is seen damaged on 20 May after an earthquake. A strong tremor rocked a large swathe of northern Italy, killing at least three people and causing serious damage to the area's cultural heritage. The epicentre of the 6.0 magnitude quake, the strongest to hit Italy in three years, was in the plains near Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of the Po River Valley.
