Some 1,200 people spent Wednesday night in tents and accommodation supplied by the Italian authorities after a 6.2 magnitude earthquake demolished villages in central Italy, civil protection sources said reports Efe.

At least 247 people have been killed, though the figure remains provisional with dozens of people still missing.

The club said in a statement that De Laurentiis and Napoli are in solidarity with the people of central Italy shaken by the terrible earthquake, adding that the club will donate a portion of the proceeds from the tickets of the Napoli-Milan match to the victims.
