A young girl has brought some early Christmas cheer to an earthquake-damaged town in central Italy by donating her pocket money and writing a touching note to its mayor.
Ten-year-old Laura, who comes from the town of Ne in Liguria, sent a letter to the mayor of Norcia, which was close to the epicentre of a 6.6 magnitude quake in October - Italy's biggest in 30 years.
She enclosed her €5 pocket money to go towards the recovery efforts and said that while it was only "a small help", she hoped her gesture would encourage others to do the same.
Laura wrote further: "Every evening I see your town on the television, and it makes me so sad. My parents showed me the photos they took in your city several years ago."
