The government should find "wise
ways, above and beyond possible mistakes and delays," to repair
the cultural heritage damaged in last year's devastating
earthquakes in central Italy, the president of the Italian
Bishops Conference (CEI), Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti, told SIR
news agency Thursday. The government has been accused of
dragging its feet in the restoration effort after countless
churches and works of art were damaged by the quake a year ago
and by two after-shocks in October.
