Church closed outside service due to repeated vandalism
The Parish of the Santissimi Petro e Giacomo Apostoli has decided to close the Church of San Giacomo, in Via Roma, except during liturgical celebrations due to increasing vandalism. The church has repeatedly had flower pots, offerings and stations of the cross stolen, as well as the figure of Jesus from the nativity scene and excrement behind the altar.
"This has been going on for years, without interruption," the parishioners said.
Unfortunately, "there is no possibility of having a caretaker, it is an expense that the parish cannot afford at the moment," explained the parish priest.
