Recent vandalism incidents have sparked growing outrage within the community of Esenta, a district of Lonato. In recent times, several episodes of incivility have been reported, particularly at the parish of Saints Mark and Bernardino. During a memorial mass last Saturday evening, a group of young individuals disrupted the ceremony with blasphemies and insults, causing alarm among those present before fleeing quickly. This is not an isolated incident; for weeks, acts of vandalism have also been occurring in the local cemetery, where ornaments and wall decorations have been damaged.
Local authorities are taking this situation seriously. The Carabinieri from the Lonato station have launched an investigation to identify those responsible and have increased security measures in the area to prevent further such behavior. The community is awaiting concrete responses to this troubling phenomenon that affects its social and cultural fabric.
