Padua, Pisa fans bring the flag of the city to the stadium: the Questore wants them to fine – Repubblica TV

The challenge between Cittadella and Pisa, valid for the Serie B championship, can leave a fine to both supporters. Not for the classic clashes that have repeatedly "animated" Italian stadiums, but for having exhibited flags without authorization. The supporters of Pisa have in fact brought to the stadium a red flag with the white cross, symbol of the Tuscan city, while the Venetian rivals have exposed one with the lion of San Marco to show their proximity to Venice. Two flags for which authorization was needed, as they do not represent the two clubs.This is what the Padua Police Chief Paolo Fassari expressed himself, appealing to a standard adopted by the National Observatory on Sports Events starting from 8 March 2007. This law provides that an authorization is needed for all the flags that are brought to the stadium, except those with the colors of their own team or of the states of which the two formations in the field are part. A literal application of the regulation by the quaestor, received negatively by managers and supporters of both teams. And also from social media
