Quake-Stricken Italian Island of Ischia

A magnitude 4 earthquake hit the popular Italian holiday destination of Ischia, in the Bay of Naples on Monday evening, killing at least two people and injuring up to 40 others.

The quake, which measured 4 on the Richter scale, wreaked havoc on the age-old architecture of the volcanic island, including a church and a hospital.

The natural disaster hit Ischia just three days before the first anniversary of the earthquake that struck the central Apennines around Amatrice and Accumoli on August 24, 2016, killing 299 people.
