"The insults to Koulibaly? It is unacceptable. We need laws and rules that are applied, this is the most important thing. I was ashamed, as an Italian and a Tuscan, also because Italy is not a racist country for me".

These are the words used by Giorgio Chiellini, captain of Juventus and of the national team, to comment on the racist offenses against the African players of Napoli - in addition to Koulibaly, Anguissa and Osimhen - during the last match of the Neapolitans against Fiorentina.

Chiellini, speaking at the press conference on the eve of the Azzurri match in the Uefa Nations League against Spain, added: "Something more must be done, otherwise we give a bad image of ourselves from the outside".

On what happened to the Artemio Franchi in Florence, the prosecutor of the Federcalcio has opened an investigation.
