Giorgio Galimberti, a 32-year-old resident of Empoli, is under investigation by the Florence Public Prosecutor’s Office for allegedly inciting violence through AI-generated content. The videos, which gained popularity on social media, depict various Tuscan landmarks—including the Florence Palace of Justice, the walls of Lucca, and Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli—as battlefields in the style of the video game ‘Call of Duty’.

One specific sequence shows a rocket being launched toward the Palace of Justice. Following the viral spread of the footage, which featured military vehicles and explosions, authorities including Digos and the Postal Police conducted a search of Galimberti’s home to investigate potential links to terrorism or attacks. Galimberti has defended his work as ‘ironic’ and ‘satirical,’ asserting that his intent was to create a contrast between peaceful landscapes and combat scenes rather than to incite hatred or violence.
