President Sergio Mattarella on
Monday called for unity in the face of natural adversity after a
deadly wave of bad weather and earthquakes battered Italy.
Speaking at the inauguration of the academic year at Rome's
Tor Vergata University, Mattarella urged for a "unitary and
common effort in the face of natural disasters".
"Good words need to unite and not divide. Images of rescuers
who save human lives in the middle of a blizzard are an example
of what we mean with republican population", the president said.
