Shattered glass
The facts date back to 2018: a group of Sinti evicted four days earlier from the field in via Lazzaretto he attempted to enter the town hall. Shouting “We sleep in the municipality” they forced entry, threw bottles and they heavily insulted the mayor Andrea Cassani. Some journalists present were also attacked, throwing the RAI correspondent’s camera to the ground the smartphones of some colleagues to prevent them from filming the scene.
