Reports from Italy indicate a series of vandalism, theft, and assault incidents across different regions.

In late August, authorities in Macerata investigated the uprooting of a speed camera in the Corneto district. Concurrently, transport workers faced aggression; a bus driver in Massa Lubrense was physically assaulted following a dispute, and a staff member in Ravello required medical attention after verbal aggression.

By early September, further incidents were reported. In Campomarino Lido, an attempted vehicle theft occurred when criminals tampered with a tourist family’s car. In Vicopisano, investigators looked into the sabotage of the Rocca della Verruca monument, where a reinforced iron gate was blocked with construction tools and other property damage, including shattered glass and broken lights, was discovered.
