The presidential Quirinale palace
said Monday it had never received a letter from a 95-year-old
woman, Nonna Peppina, who was allegedly turned out of her
anti-seismic wooden house and sent to live in a container in the
quake-hit Marche town of Fiastra.
It said TV reports to this effect were wrong.
President Sergio Mattarella asked local authorities about the
case after getting a letter from a local committee two weeks
ago, it said.
Opposition parties have accused the authorities of
mistreating the woman, Peppina Fattori.
Fiastra was among the many central Italian villages badly
damaged in last year's earthquakes.
