Is called Francesco, ha 73 years, he is a retired worker and lives in Maldola, a small town in the Forlì Apennines. His daughter Elisa, 45 years, She has been brain damaged since birth. The day before yesterday morning, all 8.30, before entrusting her to the minibus that would take her - like every one, and 12 years – in a Service Center, Francesco fired a gunshot into Elisa's head, who died instantly. Then, Francesco turned the gun on himself and shot himself. He is now in very serious condition, while Elisa's mother is still in severe shock. Francesco was afraid he couldn't do it anymore, he was worried about not being able to continue to support Elisa's expenses and above all he was anxious about his daughter's future. What would happen without him and without his wife?

A story like many, it will be said. Yes, like too many. At the beginning of March, in Florence, a man of 84 years, Warring, he took his hunting rifle and shot his wife Gina, 82 years old and to his daughter Sabrina, 44 years, tetraplegica. Him too, like Francesco, he was afraid of the future.

“I invite you to fight the unbelievers, cut off their heads with your swords, blow their heads off with your explosive belts. It is necessary to break the skulls of the unbelievers and drink their blood to achieve victory”, he said to children aged between 4 and i 10 years the president of the Islamic cultural association 'Al Dawa’ of Foggia, as shown by the wiretaps arranged by the investigators and published by the newspapers. The magistrates explain that the man was talking “of the obligation to destroy churches and transform them into mosques, identifying Italy as the target of terrorist activity”. The man was arrested, they seized assets worth 370.000 euro and its center, also used as a place of prayer. In Turin, in recent days, an Italian-Moroccan was arrested for “participation in the Islamic State terrorist association”. E’ considered the author of the first ISIS propaganda text in Italian. Some Italians who converted to Islam are also involved in the investigation, as well as citizens of foreign origin: the alleged accusation is of having carried out a campaign of radicalization and proselytism on the web. The investigation began at the end of 2015, when the Italian-Moroccan agreed to a two-year prison sentence, with conditional suspension of sentence, for incitement to commit crimes for terrorist purposes for the publication on the web of a series of ISIS documents. Even in Milan, Napoli, Modena, Bergamo and Reggio Emilia, searches were carried out by the police against individuals believed to be linked to Islamic extremist circles.

In this data – deducted from the nationality of origin – neither are the converted Italians counted (around 80 thousand, the estimates say) nor former foreigners who have acquired Italian citizenship. Based on data from Study and Research CentreIDOS, there are 8 officially recognized mosques, including the Great Mosque of Rome, active from 1995 in the Monte Antenne district, the largest in Europe, built thanks to the economic investment of the Saudi royal family, which still contributes to its existence today.

He gloats Emma Bonino ahead of the elections 4 March. Despite the excommunications which he receives daily from the Transnational Radical Party. The heirs of Pannella, Indeed – owners of that Radio that receives every year from the State 10 million euros for its business – they don't fit his monopoly on radical history, they affirm everywhere, also evicting her from the premises and protesting for having been canceled from radio and television information, while she goes crazy on television and in print. After the octogenarian Ornella Vanoni at the Sanremo Festival, even the New York Times, with a correspondence from Rome, he took care of her, underlining "the pro-European faith and commitment to civil rights that characterized the entire political career of the former European Commissioner and former Foreign Minister". The title of the article published by the American newspaper – “He won the hearts of Italians. But he can win their votes?” – looks a lot like Bonino's habitual declaration every time the elections approach: “Love me less. Vote for me more". This time, he took things up a notch and turned to those Italian kids who throughout his political life, promoting abortion, he tried not to give birth, telling them: “You were not good at being born in Italy.
