RE: Detailed l'Aquila report
It may that some minor damage was incurred and not publicized, since population downstream were literally freaking out.

Present situation is as follows:
3 dams in the Campotosto lake:
-Sella Pedicate Height=26.50 meters concrete dam
-Rio Fucino Height =49 meters concrete dam
-Poggio Cancelli Height =28.2 meters earth dam
'No visual evidence of damage is reported due to the earthquake', that's the very brief description released by the owner.
There is one article in a proceedings volume:

you can find it by the keyword: 'Campotosto'
There are a couple of references on damaged dams in Turkey and China,, you probably know them but I'll paste the links here anyway:

A recent survey led by inside geologists employed by the Rio Fucino dam owner highlighted that the quaternary fault known to run near the dam is actually at a distance of 900 feet.
Fact is that, the geologist who is the recognized expert in quaternary faults in that area and the local geologist who raised the issue of a likely active fault underneath or in the vicinities of the dam have not been called into the investigation, nor given a detailed report.
