It took the Inter bus seven hours to travel between the San Siro stadium and Piazza Duomo. An eternity because there were a sea of cheering fans on the street (350 thousand people, according to the numbers provided by the police station). And, again according to what was communicated by Via Fatebenefratelli, there were “no moments of conflict or tension”.
A great celebration began at the end of the match against Torino, played at 12.30 and won 2-0 by the home team. Since the early hours of the morning, tens of thousands of fans have flocked along the route that the players would have taken on board two open buses. The actual party began around 4pm when Inzaghi’s boys left the stadium between two wings of the crowd, always anticipated by the police departments. Subsequently, the large snake took Via Caprilli, Corso Sempione, Via della Liberazione (where the company headquarters are located) and Via Manzoni. They subsequently arrived at the Cathedral via via Mengoni, where they entered the terrace above the square through cordoned off and guarded corridors.
The safety device set up by the commissioner Giuseppe Petronzi, also participated by the carabinieri, financial police and local police for the part of their competence and which also made use of the help of AREU 118 for the rescue of over 40 people affected by illness and ATM for the safe management of “skip stops” and diversion of surface lines, was directed for the entire duration of the celebration from the large events management room in Via Fatebenefratelli where representatives of the police forces and the bodies involved were present.
“The attention paid by the police station in managing the event – we read in a note – was also focused on the preservation of some iconic and symbolic spaces or in which a dangerous promiscuity could have occurred between people engaged in the celebrations and others not interested to the same.”
