Amatrice is considered among “the most beautiful villages of Italy” and is renowned for its wonderful Medieval historical centre as well as for its famous culinary speciality, the “bucatini all’amatriciana”. On August 24, 2016 the town was struck by a severe earthquake that caused hundreds of victims and destroyed most of the buildings, including examples of great architecture like the churches of St. Augustine and St. Francis.
