On 21st-22nd May, the Eucentre Field Team visited the following structure:

Municipality: Mirandola

The facade of the S. Giacomo and Filippo Roncole Church in the municipality of Mirandola was observed to have large cracks and appeared to be close to collapse. Any eventual separation of the facade would have fallen onto the SS12 main road.
