  If only we could learn from these memories. I am glad you posted them. The awful reality of war must be remembered.

• Seth Gaines said:

  It's an earthquake. Didn't you even try to translate it?

• Université de Caen Normandie said:

  Seth you are right, these ruins are indeed related to an earthquake. We can't be sure but the picture was certainly taken after May the 8th 1914 earthquake by the Etna volcano (Sicily - Italy) Unfortunately all our caption are in French only and they are not complete. We are working on completing all these captions for the 1836 pictures of this collection. As soon as we will be finished with that, all of them will be translated to English for a better understanding. You can help ! You can help "tagging" these pictures ! You can help us translating the caption to English ! By the way Jean, you are right about the "awful reality of war" that must not be forgotten. It is indeed one of the reasons why we wished to share all this collection on this very particular and meaningful program : The Commons on Flickr. Maybe Jean you would like a have a look to albums 6 & 7. Thank you so much for your interest and help! Regards.

  It's the the earthquake of 8 may 1914 that destroyed the village of Linera and the hamlets of Cosentini, Mortara and Passopomo.
