The bishop's building in Locri was
daubed with graffiti overnight after President Sergio Mattarella
blasted the mafia in a visit to the southern city on Sunday.
The graffiti read "more work, fewer cops".
On Sunday Mattarella said that mafiosi "do not have honour".
The building is home to bishop Francesco Oliva and over the
last few days it has played host to anti-mafia priest Don Luigi
Ciotti.
Vandals also wrote "Don Ciotti cop".
Local authority workers quickly painted over the graffiti.
