Bologna Mayor Virginio Merola
said Thursday that he had reported a racist attack on a
Italian-Chinese boy to the police.
"I've learned of a very serous, intolerable episode to happen
to an 11-year-old Italian boy of Chinese origin," Merola said on
Facebook.
"I've informed the police chief.
"It was a thuggish, racist attack by some youngsters who
insulted and shoved the child, who is guilty only of having
Chinese origins.
"Fortunately the boy is not hurt.
"This is not about the coronavirus. This is about propriety".
