A new sign greets visitors to a tent camp erected after the village of Onna was destroyed by an earthquake on the outskirts of L'Aquila June 24, 2009. Earthquake survivors in central Italy's L'Aquila hope that hosting next week's G8 summit will bring aid to rebuild their homes from the rubble, providing a grim metaphor for the task world leaders face on the economy.
