Wise ways to repair quake-hit heritage (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, August 24 - The government should find "wise ways, above and beyond possible mistakes and delays," to repair the cultural heritage damaged in last year's devastating earthquakes in central Italy, the president of the Italian Bishops Conference (CEI), Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti, told SIR news agency Thursday. The government has been accused of dragging its feet in the restoration effort after countless churches and works of art were damaged by the quake a year ago and by two after-shocks in October.
