Italians in quake victims tribute
Thousands of Italians have held a candlelight vigil to remember the 308 people killed in an earthquake which devastated the central city of L'Aquila a year ago.
About 25,000 people, both residents and outsiders showing their solidarity, walked sombrely through the medieval streets of the city, carrying torches and candles.
The gathered in front of the city's cathedral and fell silent at 3.32am, the time the 6.3 magnitude quake struck on April 6 last year and sent people fleeing from crumbling homes. The name of each victim was read out and then a church bell tolled 308 times.
Some residents voiced anger at the pace of the reconstruction, and the fact that they have not yet been allowed to return to homes in the historic centre.
