My husband and I are planning our fifth Italy adventure (December 2012). Since so many of you are traveling now, I thought I'd ask for any information about sites affected by the earthquake. We're planning on most of our time in the Veneto (including Padua) and some time further south in Bologna and Ferrara. What have you seen? What is closed? This won't affect whether or not we go; we're far too in love with Italy for that! I'm just looking for up to date information from people who have seen for themselves.

Came home last week - felt the first earthquake but were spared after that - drove from Ravenna to Milan and no damage seen. Heard a rumour that there's a crack in the Padua duomo. The damage was extensive in the area around Modena
but it was business as usual everywhere else.
