Vandalism damages disability access ramp at Torre di Mezzo beach, Santa Croce Camerina, Italy

Unknown vandals destroyed part of the protective railing on the wheelchair‑accessible ramp that leads to the beach at Torre di Mezzo in Santa Croce Camerina. Mayor Peppe Dimartino posted photos on social media, condemning the act as an attack on a public good used by people with motor‑wheel impairments. He recalled that the same structure had previously suffered severe damage during Cyclone Harry and was rebuilt by the municipality. The council has already prepared repairs and pledged to restore the ramp as quickly as possible, while urging anyone with information to come forward.

The incident underscores ongoing challenges in maintaining accessibility infrastructure in the region.
