The plan outlined by Renzi calls for reconstruction to begin in the

next eight months. Piano has looked beyond this, with a "subtle, scientific"
plan to safeguard the towns for the next 50 years, reports the Guardian.

One of the biggest challenges, he claimed, is the amount of corruption in

Italy.
"It is not just corruption, there is bureaucracy and illegality," added Piano.
"Now there is a strong push against it and Italy is trying to do something
about it. It is not impossible to overcome it, something new is coming."

Renzi rides Piano's coat tails. Nothing new, it is his specific

character. It does not matter if Piano is not an expert about
this specific topic. Moreover, we already have good antiseismic requirements in the laws, see what happened in
Norcia. It's necessary to check that they are respected.

Norcia is 50 kilometres away from Amatrice,

same earthquake power but no one died.
Because after the 1976 earthquake they build
following anti-seismic requirements.
