I’ve blogged twice about the destruction in Italy several days back. Once soon after the earthquake happened<\/a>, with a photo of the purported State Archives, and later with further updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a phone conversation this morning with Anthony Alioto, with Italianlaw.net<\/a>, in San Francisco, he informed me that the picture referencing the flattened building in L’Aquila, Italy is the Prefettura and NOT the Archivio di Stato in L’aquila. He’s promised to send further information soon.

He left a comment on this blog today explaining a bit about the Prefettura, which is a governmental office unfamiliar to most Americans.<\/p>\n
