In Bologna, the night before, unknown people entered the Basilica of Our Lady of St. Luke, one of the city's main Catholic shrines. The local archdiocese reported this. According to her, the attackers broke into the night grid on the icon of the Mother of God and the Child, broke the protective glass and took jewelry from the silver frame covering the image.
According to preliminary estimates, the temple that tradition attributes to the authorship of the Evangelist Luke was not damaged. However, the incident resonated among the people of Bologna – the archdiocese noted that the townspeople were shocked and outraged by what happened.
