12 September 2021 The bust of Guglielmo Marconi at the Pincio, in Rome, was smeared with paint in the morning. The action was claimed by the 'Create is Destroy' group.



At the basis of the initiative, the presumed adhesion to the fascist party of the inventor, born in Bologna in 1874 and died in Rome in 1937.



"Is it possible to accept to venerate people who have made fascism a mentality, without second thoughts? With his inventions? Marconi was the initiator of one of the most dangerous and devastating mutations for the contemporary world. Leading us to all this ", the group Create is Destroy wrote on its Facebook page.



The group has posted a video online that captures all the stages of the blitz carried out by a man who came by bicycle. A sheet was also left under the bust with the words: "All fights are the same fight, don't forget it".



The Carabinieri of the Compagnia Roma Centro intervened promptly on the site. "We are collecting what is written on the internet and also analyzing the photos - explains the major Fabio Valletta - to give a name and surname to the author of this action". 



The question of Gugliemo Marconi's accession to fascism is still a controversial issue and remains the subject of study today.
