The Chief of Police of Brescia, Paolo Sartori, has ordered the closure of the Art Club in Desenzano del Garda for 20 days following serious incidents of violence, including a brawl that culminated in an attempted murder and several robberies occurring within the establishment. This decision was made after a complaint was filed by local residents, who expressed concerns over the increasing public insecurity in the area. The attempted murder took place last December on Christmas Eve, while recent assaults have been linked to alcohol abuse. Additionally, patrons have reported thefts and robberies of valuable items.
Despite the Art Club being a historically recognized venue, founded by Carlo Tessari, who passed away in March 2024, the authorities deemed it necessary to intervene to ensure the safety of the community. Just a month ago, the Chief of Police had already ordered the closure of the Biblò Club in Lonato del Garda for similar reasons.
