Lacco, Ischia, 1881. 'Some account was given last week of the destructive earthquake and loss of life on Friday, the 4th March, at Casamicciola, in the Isle of Ischia, Bay of Naples. Two views of that place appeared on the front page of our Journal; but we have since received from a Naples correspondent, R. Michely, several other sketches, with photographs, representing the actual effects of this great disaster...At the adjacent village of Lacco Ameno thirteen houses were thrown down, five persons were killed, and two were much injured. The Italian Minister of the Interior has sent 8000f. in aid of the sufferers, the Minister of Grace and Justice 3000f., and the Neapolitan Press 1200f. On the Chamber of Deputies resuming its sittings next day a subscription-list on behalf of the sufferers at Casamicciola was opened; and other subscription-lists have been opened at Rome and Naples, and earnest calls upon the charity of the public are being made'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
