The new tragic disaster You likely heard about was a really sad one and once more, with a country prone to frequent enough earthquake almost all over, we had to realize that we should set up a massive and expensive long term effort to keep most of our towns and villages resilient to them.
It's foolish to be proud of a now quite perfect disaster relief organization, because it just part, and not the most important one, of the solution.
The problem is huge because nowhere else in Europe the problem is at any rate similar, since we are pressed between Africa and continental Europe (Italy has important fault lines and volcanoes) and we have plenty of marvellous little town built in various ages that we would rather consolidate than to raze and re-build new and different, so economically and technically is a big challenge and we should approve some law for mandatory insurance, to enhance people willingnes to look for safety of their buildings.
Obviously we never miss a good percentage of corruption and misbehavious or criminal behaviour among administrators and builders ....
Anyway here's an Artrage experiment on a picture from a handmade drawing. I've been away for quite a long time on holyday in Sardinia and tablets aren't good to use with the beach light.
I would also has dome real watercolor and else experiments I had the opportunity to try.
