Milan, images of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele desecrated by writers

The inscriptions are very clearly visible from the square, and the action of the three was picked up on social networks. They saw it all the people who, around 22:30, were in the Piazza Duomo, and they booed and yelled at the boys, but there was nothing else they could do. Local police raised the alarm and climbed the monument when three had already fled on the roofs of the houses. Digo and firefighters were also present.

For investigators, the one at the entrance to the gallery of Victor Emanuele II would be an act vandalism without political or environmental matrices of protest. They are looking for three who would come to the ledge that runs through the next room.

Outrage over this act comes from all political circles. “An insult to all Milanese, a very serious act of impoliteness and a complete lack of respect for the common good that belongs to the whole city.‘ said Carmela Rozza, Pd’s Regional Councilor, who was Councilor for Public Works of the Municipality of Milan and led the restoration of the Gallery eight years ago. Michele Albiani, president of the city’s safety commission, speaks of anger and disgust: “The perpetrators who inflicted this insult on the entire city must be caught and punished. At the same time, one wonders how they managed to create this abomination there. Whoever allowed this, just like the vandals, should be exemplarily punished.”

Deputy Prime Minister Matthew Salvini writes Shame Without End on social media after sharing a video of the three writers in action on Facebook. “They have to pay every last penny!” said Attilio Fontana, president of the Lombardy region. “We will get them. We cannot accept that our cities and our culture are constantly defiled and vandalized. maximum punishment.

Equally outraged were the comments from tourists and Milanese collected by local newspapers and TV channels on Tuesday morning in Piazza Duomo. Corriere della Sera convey the words of one of the operators involved in the restoration of an equestrian statue in a square painted by Last Generation activists in March last year. “Well, again, vandalism affecting cultural heritage. We must finish this. In a country like ours, which thrives on cultural heritage, we need to think about stricter measures. I think that a course of study and an operation to clear these young people could be used to understand what it means to conduct an operation of this kind.”
