I have made many visits to Italy and have considered moving there to live for a while. L’Aquila is a beautiful medium sized city and one I would consider. It has a central location in the country and only lacks the seashore, which is a couple of hours away by car. I’d take my chances with the quakes. The areas near the seas are too crowded and expensive anyway. Visiting those will do.
I was stationed at Aviano Air Base in late 70’s.... Great place to live yet May and September were solid earthquake events. Terra motto ! Porko’dio !!
Stay safe....
