'I'm not dead - honest'

A retired Italian man is finding it tough to convince the government he is alive.

Giulio Marchetto, 62, discovered he had been listed as dead when he realised he was no longer receiving his pension - but he's struggling to prove to the Italian government that he is still alive and well.

He told ANSA news agency: "I don't know why they stopped paying someone who's alive when there are so many swindlers getting pensions from dead relatives around the country."

Giulio - who lives near Verona - is now gathering all the documents to prove he is not dead.
