Overview

• Carabinieri deposited an informativa with the Procura di Civitavecchia on the insults Adriano Pappalardo directed at Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni during a free concert in Passoscuro.
• The singer used vulgar language and genital gestures referencing Meloni’s relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump before beginning his performance.
• The crowd booed loudly and some attendees left, with disapproval spreading across social media after the event.
• Pappalardo apologized multiple times on stage and later told Adnkronos he reacted after a man in the crowd claimed the audience was left‑wing.
• The Comune di Fiumicino, including Vice Mayor Giovanna Onorati, condemned the behavior as unfit for families, and figures from Fratelli d’Italia criticized the episode.
