Italy's railway police said
Monday that it is looking into a report from a student at
Venice's Ca' Foscari University that she was insulted and spat
at by a group of youths while travelling on a regional train
because of her oriental features.
Train operator Trenitalia said it was investigating too after
the woman, a 19-year-old Italian with Chinese roots, reported
the attack at Mestre in a Facebook post.
"I say to that girl that you are daughter to me," Venice
Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said Monday.
"If you are a good person you will always be a citizen of
Venice, even if you don't live here".
