Trent, the neo-Gothic facade of St. Peter's Church daubed.


In Trent, the neo-Gothic facade of St. Peter's Church was daubed during some tensions that arose around the presence of a Forza Nuova gazebo.

In Trento, on Friday night, the neo-Gothic facade of St. Peter’s Church, a building dating back to the 15th century (the facade, however, was built between 1848 and 1850 to a design by architect Pietro Selvatico), was daubed. The episode was the culmination of a series of tensions that had arisen around the announcement of the presence of a Forza Nuova gazebo in front of the church, then regularly set up on Saturday, another tense day, which, however, did not result in open confrontation because the mobile units of the Carabinieri and the Questura isolated the neo-fascist group by making sure that the demonstrators gathered to protest its presence could not reach them. Thus, the two sides did not come into contact.

The author of the slogan that appeared on the facade of St. Peter’s is not known at the moment. What is certain is that causing damage to the commons to counter fascist regurgitations is a far from brilliant idea. Similar writings appeared on the exterior walls of the building on the adjoining side of the square, which houses some businesses.
