Venice Prefect Carlo Boffi on
Monday signed an order for a beach establishment at the nearby
resort of Chioggia to "immediately remove all references to
Fascism on signs, posters and banners".
The move comes after reports of images sympathetic to Fascism
and Benito Mussolini at Chioggia's Playa Punta Canna
establishment caused a furore.
Furthermore, the establishment's manager, Gianni Scarpa, was
ordered to "abstain from the further release of messages against
democracy".
Partisans association ANPI was among those calling for the
licence of 64-year-old Scarpa, who alleged gave Fascist-like
speeches at the venue, to be revoked.
