Italian president Sergio Mattarella
on Thursday urged a renewed push for reconstruction of the town
of Amatrice and all areas hit by earthquakes in the country.
"The dream of reconstruction must not stop at schools. It
must go forward on all fronts to realise Silvia's dream and thus
remove the mark of precariousness. This holds true for all areas
affected by earthquakes," he said during a visit to the Romolo
Capranica campus in Amatrice.
"The future of Italy is at stake here. But we must act
quickly," the president said in response to an appeal by a
student who had said that she dreamed of "going back to living
in real homes".
