Residents of Florence have donated more than €5,000 (£4,196) in two days after the city appealed for people to help local pensioners pay soaring utility bills, the city’s mayor said on Tuesday.
The announcement follows a plea by local authorities on Sunday to lend a helping hand to the city’s vulnerable senior citizens, many of whom live alone and subsist on a pension of less than €1,000 a month.
