Messina: unknown trying to burn the Vara

Santino Irrera
An attempt to fire the Vara has been perpetrated by unknown assailants in the early hours of the new day today, Thursday 27 August.
The famous 'votive Machina', pride of many messinesi but obviously detested by others, and, as noted, placed on display in Piazza Duomo, with the equally renowned icon of the legendary Mata and Grifone: somebody has attacked the first (la Vara) the bottles with flammable liquid and a roll of toilet paper that was supposed to have, in the intentions of the Vandals, the function of fuse and spread of flame.
The fire was fortunately averted by the arrival of several police cars.
