Category: Church
Name of the structure: Chiesa di San Giovanni Evangelista
Building typology: Unreinforced masonry
Municipality: Borgonovo, Torricella Sicura (TE)
Epicentral distance: [31 km]
Description of damage:
The church shows severe level of damage, only partially due to the worsening of pre-existing damage. The earthquake of 08/24/16 caused significant shear damage to the longitudinal, transverse and presbyterial walls (this last one is weakened by the presence of niches). Diffuse cracks of moderate size was observed in the vaults and false ceiling (probably built with I beams and hollow clay flooring blocks)
