President Sergio Mattarella said
Thursday it was "right" to restart community life after
earthquakes beginning with schools.
"It is right to assume school as the starting point for the
life of the community," he said at the inauguration of a new
secondary school in the quake-hit town of Esanatoglia.
The Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa school was built by the
Confederazione nazionale delle Misericordie d'Italia thanks to
the economic support of five donors.
Macerata province was one of the many central Italian areas
hit by devastating earthquakes in August and October 2016.
Solidarity is one of the things that make Italy great,
Mattarella said.
"Solidarity is a characteristic of Italy and makes our
country great", he said.
The head of State thanked the donors, including the
Misericordie Catholic charity group, who made the building of
the school possible.
