On April 7th unidentified vandals poured frying oil down the grand stone steps in front of the church of San Giovanni Evangelista in Modica.
In addition, a stone bench in a community garden nearby was also damaged. City councilor Pietro Lorefice, who went to the site after the reports, said "They have defaced a historic and sacred place such as the Church of San Giovanni and an area that in recent years we have recovered and delivered to the community as a vegetable garden."
