The Messina Earthquake Disaster

AN OUTLINE MAP OF SOUTHERN ITALY AND OF SICILY
AN OUTLINE MAP OF SOUTHERN ITALY AND OF SICILY
This map includes the whole territory disturbed by the great earthquake which was felt throughout the island of Sicily and as far to the northeast as the town of San Giovanni. The center of disturbance was in and around the Strait of Messina, the narrow channel dividing Italy from Sicily. Here are located the cities of Messina and Reggio, which according to authentic reports have been practically wiped out of existence. The city of Naples is made a base of supplies for the district now threatened with famine, and also serves as a place of refuge for many who have fled from the devastated territory.
