The parish priest of the Basilica of San Giovanni Maggiore in Naples has condemned the fire set in the church's musician's chapel, known as the Ecce Homo. The fire had spread to the altar when firefighters were able to extinguish it.
The priest, Don Salvatore Guiliano, indicated that he knows the identity of the perpetrators and will meet with Naples officials to discuss security in light of repeated incidents.
