The country's Abruzzo region was struck by tremors on Monday (06Apr09), killing over 200 people.
The town of Pacentro, where Madonna's paternal grandparents lived until 1919, was severely affected by the disaster, prompting the region's mayor to appeal to the singer for help.
And Madonna has responded by donating a $500,000 (£345,000) sum to the relief effort, according to People.com.
The star says in a statement, "I am happy to lend a helping hand to the town that my ancestors are from. My heart goes out to the families that have lost loved ones or their homes."
