Unfair competition

Still on the subject of sport: from Padua we have a glimpse of the rich fabric of Italian politics.

Every year St Anthony of Padua is celebrated with the running of a marathon. Now, in discussions about next year's race, Councillor Pietro Giovannoni, of the Northern League, has proposed cancelling the subsidy for the race on the grounds that 'it is always won by African athletes or foreigners in underpants'.
