That night, severe earthquakes were reported in the region. He asked the police chief for permission to go to his house to calm his seriously ill wife. When he arrived there, he was surprised by a terrible earthquake that destroyed most of the houses. He died together with his wife under the rubble. The earthquake had also reduced the police station to rubble. In total, 308 people were killed and hundreds more injured in the earthquake in L'Aquila.
