During the night between January 31^st and February 1^st in Ciriè, in the province of Turin, persons unknown set fire to Francesco Vivenza’s car.

Vivenza, who denounced it believes the fire was malicious. It could be intimidation to stop his citizen journalist activity. In this capacity, in recent times he had reported the sequence of burned cars and some drug dealing areas in his municipality. On these topics, Vivenza has published some video-investigations on his social channels and on YouReporter, shot with a hidden camera. Among other things, he shot and published a video on ‘rave parties’.
