Smeared with red paint and inscriptions on the mural dedicated to Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino in Piazza Bologna in Rome.
The mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri speaks of “Unacceptable vandalism. A cowardly gesture that we want to immediately remedy. For this reason, together with Francesca Del Bello President of the Municipality of Rome 2 and the author of the painting, Paolo Colasanti aka Gojo, we will restore the work as soon as possible – added Gualtieri -. Rome does not forget those who sacrificed their lives to fight against the mafia and keeps their memory ”.
A vandalism “condemned forcefully” by the Councilor for Culture of Rome Capital, Miguel Gotor. “It is nothing more than an unacceptable act of hooliganism – he adds – whatever the motivation, and a scar on the memory of two important magistrates who paid for the fight against organized crime with their lives; an attack on the culture of legality, moreover the second after a few months on the same work, and Rome cannot tolerate it. The mural had already been restored in January in the presence of associations, students and citizens and it will be again “.
