Quake: Boldrini meets governors

(ANSA) - Rome, October 24 - House Speaker Laura Boldrini met Monday with the governors of four regions whose mountain areas were devastated by an August 24 earthquake.
    "A time for listening to assess the needs of local communities," Boldrini tweeted after meeting the heads of Lazio, Marche, Umbria and Abruzzo. "It was a highly useful meeting," Boldrini later told reporters.
    She also reiterated an invitation to the governors and the people from the quake-stricken towns and villages to a Christmas concert to be held at the Lower House on December 16.
    "The chamber will fill with quake survivors," she said.
    "Dedicating the concert to them is the right thing to do".
    Boldrini first extended the invitation during a visit to the village of Arquata del Tronto on September 24, one month after the devastating tremor that claimed 298 lives, left 3,000 homeless, and caused billions in damage across the four regions.
