A church in Naples has appealed to
Vladimir Putin for the funds it needs to complete restoration
work, confident that the Russian president will help a saint
dear to Holy Mother Russia, St Nicholas.
"I've appealed to the Italian culture ministry but so far
there's been no reply," said Father Mario Rega of the San Nicola
alla Carità Church.
"So I decided to take urgent action".
