As reported by AP/ENR, an Italian government official stated that "It's not in our culture to construct buildings the right way in a quake zone - that is, build buildings that can resist (quakes) and retrofit old ones. This has never been done."They say you get a mule to do what you want by first getting its attention by hitting it on the head with a 2x4. I would think that had already been done in Italy's case, by past devastating earthquakes, but I guess not.
