A nativity scene in Treviglio was destroyed and the Jesus statue taken and beheaded by unknown perpetrators.

In the second incident in as many days, another Nativity scene in the Bergamo region has been vandalized and the Jesus figure removed, and this time decapitated. Police are investigating and have noted the similarity of this incident to one days before in Dorga, in which the statue of St. Joseph was beheaded. (Read that case here).
