Residents filled the square beneath the city’s landmark Ghirlandina tower after Mayor Massimo Mezzetti called for a public gathering “against those who sow hatred” and to support the victims of Saturday’s attack. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and President Sergio Mattarella traveled to the northern city on Sunday after eight people were injured when Salim El Koudri, a 31-year-old Italian man of Moroccan origin, drove a car into pedestrians in the crowded city center, prosecutors said. Four people were seriously injured, including one in life-threatening condition, while two victims lost their legs, prosecutors added. Authorities said the suspect acted in an “indiscriminate, random and deliberate manner” and is under investigation for attempted massacre and personal injury. The man allegedly stabbed one of three passersby who tried to stop him as he attempted to flee before being arrested by police. Applause broke out in the square for the bystanders who intervened, including two men of Egyptian origin, according to the mayor.
