Abstract

The Marsica earthquake of January 13, 1915, is one of the most disastrous in Italy’s history. It occurred in a particularly unique context, namely while Europe was engulfed in war and Italy was on the brink of joining it. This led to a situation where one emergency was layered on top of another, necessitating a series of measures to maintain public order. This paper examines the organization and decisions made by the state apparatus in response to the earthquake and to preserve national spirit.
