Four months since L'Aquila earthquake, the little town of Poggio Roio in central Italy is ghostly. Its inhabitants now live at the Montuopoli tent city, not too far from the town, waiting for the reconstruction to take place. Waiting for new houses, about 10.000 people live in tents. Every day a lot of people reach L'Aquila to watch the rubble from around the world. "In june the G8 summit was taken it, ever since tourists try to enter in the old town - open only to firemen, to take pictures and souvenirs. All this happen while inhabitants of L'Aquila live in tents", a soldier of the Italian Brigade Alpini reported.

Just in Piazza del Duomo (the biggest square of L'Aquila) a couple of Germans (yellow shirt and violet shirt) posed for a portrait in front of the Cathedral. In front of an old door of the medieval city, a group of tourists are asking to two soldiers to go in.
