Police Probe 'Spara a Giorgia' Graffiti Evoking Red Brigades in Marina di Pietrasanta

Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage after the message was shared online by a senior Fratelli d’Italia figure.

Overview

  • The phrase “Spara a Giorgia” was spray‑painted in red on a hotel wall along Viale Roma in the Versilia town of Marina di Pietrasanta.
  • A five‑pointed star and the initials “BR” accompanied the message, interpreted as a reference to the Red Brigades, which a Years of Lead observatory condemned as an “infamous act.”
  • Police from the Forte dei Marmi station opened an inquiry, are checking nearby cameras, and have reported no suspects or arrests.
  • Fratelli d’Italia organizer Giovanni Donzelli posted the photo on social media, calling it grave political intimidation and expressing solidarity with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
  • Leaders from Fratelli d’Italia and the Lega denounced the threat as proof of a toxic climate, echoing Defense Minister Guido Crosetto’s recent warning about a potential ‘Brigate Rosse 4.0.’
