Sgarbi prohibits the mask in the municipality of Sutri (where he is mayor). “Only thieves hide their faces. It’s fine for those who use it unnecessarily.”

In the municipality of Sutri led by the mayor Vittorio Sgarbi, in the Viterbo area, from now on anyone wearing the mask “Needlessly” will be fined. This was decided by the mayor with an order signed in the last hours and it was intended to discuss. “Only thieves and terrorists they mask their faces, “said the deputy in a statement. For this reason, “the use of masks is prohibited in the city of Sutri outdoor for obvious health reasons and indoors, except in the case of meeting, from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., as expressly indicated in the Dpcm of August 16, 2020 ″. Who will be seen wearing a mask to protect themselves from COVID-19, therefore, “will be fined in relation to Law 533/1977 regarding public order that in article 2 establishes that the face cannot be disguised “.

To give legal foundation to his order, Sgarbi refers to the law from the 1970s that prohibits “the use of protective helmets, or any other means to hinder the recognition of the person, in a public place or place open to the public, without justified reason. In any case, the aforementioned use is prohibited for events that take place in a public place or open to the public, except those of a sporting nature ”. A rule that, adds the mayor of Sutri, “is reinforced with decree law 155/2005”. The reason for the decision, Sgarbi concludes, derives from the fact that in his opinion “the use of the mask in public places, except employees, appears in obvious contrast to the time spent on nutrition planning to take on the food without bezel. Then it appears contradictory that after eating without a mask you get up from the table and put it on. These are ridiculous ways to ostentation that have nothing to do with him health needs“.

The art critic, now a member of the mixed group And in politics for life, since the beginning of the emergency, he has provoked continuous controversy over his claims about the coronavirus. “Turn around and nothing will happen to you,” he said last March when Italy was about to initiate a two-month lockdown. Then he sided with who, like the physician of San Raffale Zangrillo, argues that “the emergency is over” as hospitalizations decrease. His participation in the anti-Covid conference ended in the storm due to the statements of the singer Andrea Bocelli and the presence of the leader of the Carroccio Salvini dates back to the end of July. Two days ago, however, more 20 thousand from Trentino They signed a petition (later declared admissible) to ask for his resignation from the museum guide Mart in Rovereto.

Support ilfattoquotidiano.it: I never eat right now
we need you.

In these weeks of pandemic, journalists, if we do our job conscientiously, we do a public service. Also for this reason, every day here at ilfattoquotidiano.it we are proud to offer hundreds of new content for free to all citizens: news, exclusive insights, expert interviews, surveys, videos and much more. All this work, however, comes at great financial cost. Advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited income. Not in line with the access boom. That is why I ask those who read these lines to support us. Give us a minimum contribution, equal to the price of a cappuccino per week, which is essential for our work.

THANKS FOR READING NOW XX ITEMS THIS MONTH.

But now we are the ones who need you. Because our work has a cost. We are proud to be able to offer hundreds of new content to all citizens for free every day. But advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited revenue. Not in line with the boom in access to ilfattoquotidiano.it. That is why I ask you to support us, with a minimum contribution, equal to the price of one cappuccino per week. A small but fundamental sum for our work. Give us a hand!
