Riots erupted on Thursday, when a gang of white youths fired air rifle pellets at a group of Africans, injuring a Togolese man and a Nigerian, in a region where thousands of immigrants are employed picking fruit and vegetables by farms and orchards.
Hundreds of African workers went on the rampage, burning cars and smashing shop windows, sparking further attacks by local men. Dozens of people were injured in the clashes, some of the worst racial violence in Italy for decades.
