Genoa Probes Winter Park After 'Faccetta Nera' Played at Bumper Cars

The mayor is weighing sanctions after the fascist‑era song was broadcast at a publicly funded family park.

Overview

  • A visitor filmed the song blasting at the autoscontro on January 10, and the clip spread online, drawing swift public indignation.
  • Mayor Silvia Salis condemned the episode as extremely serious, citing the park’s public funding and family audience, and said officials are carrying out formal checks with possible sanctions.
  • The city asked Winter Park to exclude the attraction involved and called for an unambiguous condemnation from all local political groups.
  • Winter Park’s organizers condemned the incident, attributed it to a single operator’s reprehensible error, and said firm measures will be taken.
  • ANPI’s provincial president called the behavior inconceivable and unacceptable, as reports noted similar holiday‑season cases in other cities, including Sanremo.
