A religious service for the quake
dead in Amatrice will be brought forward from Wednesday to
Tuesday to enable Premier Matteo Renzi to attend, Rieti Bishop
Domenico Pompili said Friday. He said the service would be
without coffins because it is not possible "to say when we will
have all the bodies at our disposal since some have already been
taken away by their families". Lazio town Amatrice was the worst
hit by Wednesday's 6.2-magnitude tremor which killed at least
267 people, 207 of them in Amatrice.
