April in Florence closes with a huge budget: about sixty means (scooters and cars) damaged and destroyed in several pyres in the streets of the city, but the arsonists have not only limited to that.
A charred structure is all that remains at one of the city’s largest discos, Meccanò.
The historic late-night venue, located in the Cascine park and overlooking the Arno river, is burned the night of April 15, a few weeks before the beginning of summer season.
The perpetrators broke into the local at night and set fire to 20 litres of petrol on the dance floor, causing serious damage.
All the inside of disco was carbonized and destroyed by the flames.
The security forces, to find the responsible of the fire (certainly arson), have checked that none of the five owners of the local had received threats and have started investigations both scientific and territorial.
The fire is being investigated by anti-mafia and, simultaneously, local police are investigating whether one of Meccanò's business competitors was involved.
