An act of vandalism has targeted the red bench located near the town hall of Calcinato, a symbol of the fight against violence against women. The bench has been damaged, rendering the inscription on the plaque that identifies its significance illegible. The municipal administration, led by Mayor Vincenza Corsini, has expressed deep outrage over this act, describing it as cowardly and unacceptable. They emphasized that such an action offends not only the message of respect and dignity represented by the bench but also the entire community.
The mayor highlighted the seriousness of the incident, especially on the eve of April 25th, Liberation Day, recalling the values of freedom and justice. The municipality is committed to restoring the vandalized plaque and continuing to promote a culture of respect and non-violence. This event underscores the importance of keeping alive the memory and collective commitment against all forms of gender-based violence.
