(ANSA) - Bologna, February 6 - Bologna Mayor Virginio Merola
said Thursday that he had reported a racist attack on a
Italian-Chinese boy to the police.
"I've learned of a very serous, intolerable episode to happen
to an 11-year-old Italian boy of Chinese origin," Merola said on
Facebook.
"It was a thuggish, racist attack by some youngsters who
insulted and shoved the child, who is guilty only of having
Chinese origins.
"Fortunately the boy is not hurt.
