Pope: Central Italy is still scarred by the earthquake and calls for rapid and transparent reconstruction
Published
Pope Leo XIV spoke about the situation in Central Italy, an area that, in his words, still bears the wounds of the earthquake. The Pontiff stressed that the affected communities need clear timeframes and a concrete commitment to rebuild homes, churches and services.
In his message, the Pope called for reconstruction to proceed with urgency, because many people are still waiting to return to a normal life. He also insisted on transparency, that is, on the need for public resources to be managed in a clear and verifiable way, so that citizens can have trust in institutions.
The earthquake that struck Central Italy in recent years caused numerous deaths and very serious damage in several municipalities across Lazio, Marche, Umbria and Abruzzo. Many historic villages were damaged or destroyed, and for many families reconstruction still requires time and patience.
The Pope's words therefore draw attention to a problem that still affects many Italian communities. The message invites institutions, organizations and citizens to work together so that Central Italy can grow again and live in peace.
