Country: Italy

Date of incident: January 4, 2020


On the 5th January 2020, some vandals defaced the small sixteenth-century church of of San Giovannello located in the north of Campobasso. Writings, scribbles and profanity were made with a spray can. The area is often subjected with acts of vandalism and abandonment of syringes. The neighbourhood Committee San Giovannello asked for the placement of video surveillance cameras.

"That church has seen it all, literally. And if we think that it is a church of 1500, it means that it has seen so many," comments instead Mr. Davide. "A point of historical and cultural interest subjected to decades of neglect by all administrations and systematic defacement by all the idiots who think they are cool to write their tags."
