These are my observations made from Frasso Sabino. Unfortunately the night has been partially cloudy with a not dark sky. 
In 30 years that I observe the Perseids this it has been the second to year richer than luminous meteors confronting the mag. medium of the Perseids with the sporadics.
Locality: Frasso Sabino, Rieti (Italy)

With the videocamera (with lens 8mm F/0.8) from Rome in approximately 5 hours of effective time I have recorded 67 meteors between which 3 fireball.
Clear skies,
