1. Translated into English:

   Milan, the story of the boy attacked at Garibaldi station: “There were forty of them, they surrounded us to steal our glasses and purse. I thought I was going to bleed to death”.

   Milan – The cut from the forehead to the chin . Two more on the back 5 centimeters long. Plus a wound to his left arm . “I was afraid of bleeding to death, you can’t risk your life like that”. Danylo Shydlovskyi , a Ukrainian who will turn 19 tomorrow, shows the terrible marks left by the robbers who attacked him on the evening of Sunday 6 August in Piazza Freud , in front of Porta Garibaldi station .

   “A band of about forty North Africans ,” the boy told the Day . An episode that occurred a month after the robbery with a machete on a regional train on the Lecco-Milan route. And it was from Lecco that the eighteen-year-old arrived, returning to Milan at 7 pm after a Sunday trip to the lake with his brother and other friends. “In all there were six of us, four boys and two girls, two of which were minors.”

   Danylo tried to protect others, “particularly the two girls ,” and got the worst of it. Admitted to the Fatebenefratelli hospital, after treatment he was discharged with a 20-day prognosis . “But I will have it for at least a year. I have to get the wound under control, they will have to have the stitches removed (I have at least thirty) and then I will have to start plastic surgery treatments ”. Because the scar on his face is evident. A scar left to take away his purse containing his wallet (“no money”) and cell phone.

   Danylo speaks only in Ukrainian and his mother Raissa , who has been living in Italy for 7 years, will translate his words . Her son joined her with his younger brother after the outbreak of war in Ukraine. “I thought he would be safe here in Milan. Paradoxically, he found the war here ,” comments the woman. And she can’t hold back the tears.

2. Milan is such a shit hole.

3. North-african refugees stole my cell phone in Milan. And then they tried to sell it back to me.

   The italians told me that Italy’s response to the explosion in “petty crime” was to reduce theft of cell phones from a crime to a misdemeanor, and now crime is “reduced”. Apparently, wallets are still a crime though, as is cutting people, so this particular case should get a lot of police attention.

   When I see Italy voting more and more to the right, I have no questions.
