In Gargnano, the facade of the Church of San Tommaso in Villa has been defaced by a Palestinian flag painted by unknown individuals. This incident, which occurred in recent days, has drawn condemnation from the parish priest, Don Carlo Moro, who emphasized that this is not an appropriate way to express solidarity. The church has been closed since June 30, 2019, due to safety issues following an earthquake.
Don Carlo reported the incident to the local police, highlighting the historical significance of the building, which is also known for having inspired writer D.H. Lawrence during his stay in 1913. The act of vandalism has raised concerns about the protection of places of worship and the respect for forms of public expression.
