Sant'Agostino was a comune (municipality) in the Province of Ferrara in the Italian region Emilia-Romagna, located about 35km (22miles) north of Bologna and about 20km (10miles) west of Ferrara. From 1 January 2017 the comune was unified with Mirabello and the new municipality took the name of Terre del Reno.
Two workers died in a Sant'Agostino ceramics factory when the building collapsed during an earthquake which hit the region in the early morning of May 20, 2012.[2]
The following day the affected region, which extended to Lombardy and Veneto, experienced a succession of aftershocks, the strongest of which took place in the early afternoon and was itself rated at 5.1 on the Richter scale.
