Writeup from MB 112:
Renazzo: refined coordinates.
44°46'01"N, 11°17'46"E In January 1824 a meteorite fell in Renazzo. During the descent, the meteorite broke into 3 main pieces plus an many small fragments. The main pieces were collected on an area about 1.5 km in diameter, while the smaller ones were spread over surrounding fields. The impact point of the meteorite was not well recorded in scientific documents of the time. After extensive research using old documents and site inspection, Thomas Mazzi was able to reconstruct the event and find the main impact point of the Renazzo fall.
