No, Florence is not a safe city. Yet another demonstration of a sadly consolidated situation also in the Sole24 Ore rankings comes today from a new, shameful episode of violence perpetrated against a journalist. Guilty only of having wanted to do his job as best as possible. Costanza Castiglioni, from the television show Fuori dal Coro (hosted by Mario Giordano, broadcast on Rete 4) was threatened and, according to initial information, also violently beaten by a man on a motorbike.

The journalist was in Florence, in the popular Piagge neighbourhood, and wanted to complete a report on the many, too many council houses occupied by Roma families (those who have always been called gypsies). The colleague and the operator managed to escape with their car, which was literally destroyed. The intervention of the police prevented the worst.

According to our sources, the journalist and the operator were also chased at a later time, on Viale Redi. A new attack on a journalist, after the one that occurred last week by Maria Letizia Modica. An endless shame. “I have never been so scared in my life – Costanza Costiglioni told us, reached by telephone – Not only did they beat us, but they chased us. It seemed like a scene from a film, absurd. The crew left escorted onto the motorway because they found us even after the whole complaint, I’m going to the hospital.”
