Azione Leader Matteo Richetti Hit by Two Thefts on BresciaRome Trip

He frames the episode as proof that Italian train hubs still pose persistent safety risks.

Overview

  • The incidents occurred Sunday during his return by rail from Brescia to Rome after a party for colleague Fabrizio Benzoni.
  • During the Florence stop, he briefly left the train to walk his dog and returned to find his backpack missing, which included an iPad and personal items.
  • On arrival at Roma Termini, a young man opened a car’s hatch and took his trolley before the driver gave chase and carabinieri stopped the suspect.
  • The trolley was recovered after the intervention, while the backpack remains reported stolen.
  • Richetti says a train conductor told him such thefts during the Florence stop are frequent, and Carlo Calenda lightened the mood with a joking remark.
