| On the night of April 6, 2009, a terrible earthquake destroyed the city of L'Aquila, in the mountain heart of Italy. This town was the site of the G8 meeting held in July. The earthquake dramatically damaged dozens of beautiful villages located in one of the most historical and best preserved naturistic areas of Italy. HELP SAVE LUCOLI The municipality of Lucoli, known as one of the finest ski area close to Rome, sustained some of the most severe damage to its cultural and historical heritage. In addition, all of the homes of the 1,006 local residents are currently uninhabitable. The local residents have been living in temporary campgrounds high in this mountainous region, some as much as 5,000 feet in elevation. The municipality is made up of 18 villages that date from the Middle Ages. These villages are masterpieces of Italian Middle Ages heritage, with their bell towers, churches, abbeys and palaces, which need urgent restoration in order to be preserved for the future and to not be lost forever. The municipality has taken the initiative to start a plan to collect the funds necessary to preserve this world heritage which is now in serious danger. Any sponsor generous enough to help fund this project will have a permanent commemorative plaque installed in their honor, to recognize their efforts in helping Lucoli recover from this disaster.
