Threatening graffiti against Verangela Marino in piazza Foroni
Date of the event:
In piazza Foroni, in Turin's Barriera di Milano district, spray-painted graffiti addressed to Verangela Marino, a Fratelli d'Italia councillor in District 6 (Circoscrizione 6), appears on a wall. The text reads "Contro le ronde delle bionde. Verangela Marino, stai attenta" ("Against the blondes' patrols. Verangela Marino, watch out"), amounting to a direct, personal threat against the political figure [1].
Context
The incident occurs while Marino is engaged in neighbourhood-watch activity, including efforts against open-air drug dealing, reporting illegal squatting, and flagging urban decay in District 6 [1].
The councillor's response
Marino responds through her own social media channels, stating: "To those who keep telling me to watch out, I have only one answer: unlike you, I put my face and my name to what I say." She also calls the authors of the graffiti "small", accusing them of hiding behind anonymity instead of a public confrontation [1].
Similar precedents
The local press has linked the case to other intimidation previously suffered by Patrizia Alessi, a Fratelli d'Italia councillor in the neighbouring District 7 (Aurora-Vanchiglia), who was also targeted by hostile graffiti linked to her work against neighbourhood decay [1].
