Shock after vandalism at Roma graves at the central cemetery: since July there have been several serious cases of damage - but what is behind it?

The family has not yet got over the death of Romano, who was only 27 years old three years ago. In his honor and because it is customary among the Roma, a magnificent grave was erected in the central cemetery. A different family member visits his grave every day. The shock was all the greater when one of Romano's brothers found the grave had been broken into on Monday.
