The Great Mosque of Rome has launched a gastronomic initiative to raise money for the victims of Italy’s recent earthquake. As our correspondent Max Civili reports, during the event people were asked to donate a sum of money in return for a plate of a traditional dish from Amatrice, one of the hardest-hit towns in last month’s quake.
