Nazi dresses at Lucca Comics. Municipality and organizers: "They have been removed"

"An offense to the event and to all its public"

To distance themselves and reconstruct what happened the Municipality and Lucca Crea, the investee company that organizes the event. Together they condemn the behavior of the two boys who appeared «in the video, offensive not only for the festival and all its audience, but above all for the historical memory of our territory. The incident is in no way related to the festival or the community cosplay nor to any historical re-enactment. No event of the event, no partner, no collateral activity is involved in this gesture of the two boys. The public present immediately condemned the gesture and the security promptly removed them from the area, without the intervention of the police, however already alerted ".

"We also recall – continues the joint note – that the theme to which the festival is dedicated this year is" Becoming Human ", a strong call to rediscover our human side, to enhance closeness, feelings and tolerance. All this certainly does not go hand in hand with similar manifestations that recall ghosts of intolerance and barbarism ".To condemn also the regional councilor of the Pd Alessandra Nardini: «Similar episodes cannot be underestimated considering them goliardate. These episodes question us about the climate in the country and here, in Tuscany, and remind us that we cannot and must not let our guard down. There has always been a nice atmosphere at Lucca Comics, with families, children, young and old. No one can stain this event with images that take us back to the darkest period of our history ». –
