A barrage of eggs was thrown against the façade of the church of the Madonna di Loreto in Borgetto, in the Palermo area. The main façade of the building, which overlooks Via Monastero, was vandalised in several places. This was reported on the 8. October.

The newspaper reported that a few weeks ago, another church was vandalised in the province of Palermo, in Terrasini. The priest published a video showing young boys defacing a plant in the atrium in front of the Church of Providence.
