Giant Boulder Smashes Through Italian Farm
An Italian farmer and his family had an unbelievably close call with some house-sized boulders. You have to see the pictures to believe it. The boulders were dislodged during a landslide on January 21 in Northern Italy. One of the boulders smashed through the barn and courtyard of the farm and cut a swath through their vineyard before stopping near a boulder from some previous rockfall / landslide event. That older boulder is even bigger, about the same size as the entire farmhouse and big enough to be seen on Google Earth! See below or download the KMZ file.

Dear Sir,
I would like to enquire about the landslide that happened on 15 feb 2010 in Italy ( maierato region).
What are the soil types and what is the structural geology of the area. Any idea as to how could i get the maps?
Thanks,
