The Sanctuary of the Angels Church has repeatedly been a target of vandalism. Most recently, the statue of the Madonna was found on the ground with its little finger missing. While in the past it was mostly the candles in front of the statue of the Madonna which disappeared, this time a vase of holy water was stolen in the church.
This is has been happening since last summer, according to Father Giorgio. There are often posters with timetables torn down, candles in front of the Madonna have disappeared, the olive branches used for Palm Sunday have been tampered with and the concrete gardn pots are often emptied with the soil spread out. Further, a vase of holy water was stolen in the church.
