This is a church occupied by refugees in the care of the ARC just after the rush from the invaded north of Italy last November. When the call came the church was stripped of its ecclesiastical articles and RC bedding installed with places for 50 refugees who are still sleeping under the mediaeval frescos. The construction of a more permanent shelter has already been undertaken by the ARC delegates to Leghorn
