Torino, another homophobic attack: shootings and insults for a well known radio and TV announcer

It was supposed to be an evening full of celebrations, but for Christian Floris, artistic director of the Alassio culture festival, it turned into an evening with a bitter aftertaste. The well-known orator from Turin was in fact the victim of a violent homophobic attack by two girls in a club in the center of Turin.

After attending Marco Mengoni’s concert at the Grande Torino stadium, the speaker moved to the center to meet a friend’s mother with whom he wanted to have dinner. Once in the club, the verbal aggression: “After I had drunk a lot of water, I went to the club’s toilet,” he says in a story on Facebook, “But whoever was inside didn’t pee.”

In fact, the two girls — who were 18 or 20, according to Floris — were taking selfies and answering the phone. Because of this, the man knocked on the door and asked for a hurry: “When the two girls went out, they pushed me and started insulting me. They beat me as if to provoke me. I threatened to report them and they kept yelling “at me.”

The man also recorded a video he posted in which one of the two can be heard insulting him in a homophobic manner. They told him “Ricc *** ne di me ** a”. In order to defend Floris, some of the restaurant’s customers and the owners, the man called the police anyway. The radio announcer takes home a scratched arm and a lot of bitterness from this terrible experience. “If the messages we’re hearing everywhere aren’t enough to pierce some characters and minds, justice is needed, so I will report the fact as suggested by the police who intervened at the scene.”
