In this work we present the complete photographic dataset of the rotational effects produced by the Mw 6.3, 6 April 2009 L’Aquila (Central Italy) earthquake. During the macroseismic survey, performed in the aftermath of the 6 April mainshock in order to estimate the impact of the event, we collected and classified an impressive number of rotational effects on buildings, monuments in villages and cemeteries, and heavy articles of furniture.
