• The show was organized by the Comune di Fiumicino, and witnesses said the insults referenced Meloni’s relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump.
• Audience members booed and some left the square, and criticism spread on social media from attendees who said the singer should have been stopped.
• Fiumicino vice mayor Giovanna Onorati condemned the language and gestures as inappropriate given the presence of families and children.
