Rome: insults and stones thrown at Father Coluccia in Quarticciolo

Milan, June 18 (LaPresse) – Another attack occurred yesterday against anti-drug priest Father Antonio Coluccia in the Quarticciolo district. Senator Marco Scurria, deputy group leader of Brothers of Italy, stated: “Father Coluccia has long been fighting against the clans by going into drug-dealing areas, speaking with residents, and trying to save young people—often minors—from being recruited into crime. Together with councillor Cristina De Simone, councillor Umberto Matronola, and Daniele Rinaldi—councillor and Vice President of Brothers of Italy in Rome—we have been working for months on restoring law and order in the outer districts of Municipalities VII and V, where today this latest escalation of violence occurred,” said Scurria.
