Italy - The president of the Italian Senate was the object of racist and antisemitic graffiti

Skinheads are believed to have hung a large banner, targeting Renato Schifani with the slogan "Schifani the Jew will be you." A similar banner was found the next night. The banners, which were hung near a major city higway, were signed with the symbol of an extreme right-wing group.

Schifani, who is not Jewish, had declared on a visit to Auschwitz earlier this month that "we are all Israelis."
