SANT' AGOSTINO, Italy, May 20 (Reuters) - A strong aftershock measuring magnitude 5.1 hit northern Italy on Sunday, causing more damage and more buildings to collapse, officials and witnesses said.
The aftershock destroyed a clock tower in Finale Emilia, near the epicentre of the first quake, and made a firefighter fall off a building, according to television reports.
The aftershock was felt over a vast area of the north. (Reporting by Philip Pullella; Editing by Louise Ireland)
