A newborn baby was found abandoned
near a rubbish bin in the centre of Taranto in the southern
Puglia region early Saturday morning.
The baby boy was found wrapped in a blanket inside a bag
together with a cuddly toy.
He was taken to the local Santissima Annunziata hospital, where
he was said to be "in excellent condition".
The local health authorities said they hoped the baby's mother
would "come forward soon".
