Squeaky brakes on Fiat 500

Our 2010 Fiat 500 has developed an intermittent high pitched squeal which seems to come from the front wheels (difficult to tell but seems to be RHS). Sounds like disc and pad rubbing as the squeal disappears when touching the brake. Any ideas as to the cause and cure?

Intermittently sticking calliper. Get the calliper pins cleaned and lubricated.
