'Sinner Bomb' is latest Naples high-explosive firework

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 6 - The 'Sinner' Bomb is the latest in a line of high-explosive New Year's fireworks invented in Naples.
    Italian police say the devastating device "shares the flame-red hair and explosive shots" of the tennis world number one from South Tyrol.
    The 'bomb' was seized in the home-cum-workshop of a 24-year-old man who had turned his residence into a power keg and placed his neighbours, as well as an adjacent medical centre and school, at high risk, police said.
    Every year fireworks mad Naples is the Italian city that has the most injuries, and sometimes fatalities, due to the NYE mayhem.
    The outrageous names of the most powerful fireworks are targeted at youthful noise-lovers.
    The Kvara Bomb is named after the Georgia wing dribbling sensation who has sent league leader Napoli's fans wild.
    The huge banger named after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia aka Kvaradona for his similarities to Diego Maradona, joins past notorious illegal Naples fireworks including the COVID Bomb, Cobra 7, the Rambo 1, the Uranus 2020, the Kamikaze, the Bin Laden Bomb, The Maradona Bomb, The Pope Bomb, Desert Storm, Red October, Turbo 3, The Spread, Maya and Insigne, after another past Napoli darling, striker Lorenzo Insigne.
    Women in Naples got so fed up with their menfolk in 2008 that they launched a 'no sex if you let off fireworks' drive.
    The operation had some success as the number of injuries dropped by about 100.
    Many of the illegal fireworks sold in Italy are actually rudimentary bombs.
    Last New Year's Day hundreds of Italians were nursing burns and injuries and some lost fingers as a result of New Year celebrations with fireworks that went wrong.
    Police have launched their customary pre-festive crackdown on the devices, seizing thousands of illegal fireworks a day, most in and around Naples. (ANSA).
