Return to Camelot, the international gathering of the far right organized by Veneto Fronte Skinheads, will take place. The Provincial Committee for Public Order and Security of Trento has decided not to block the event, which will be held from September 3 to 6 in Pietramurata, in the municipality of Dro, in Trentino. The controversies that have accompanied the approach of the event for days now, opposed by opposition parties, associations, and unions, denouncing its unconstitutionality, therefore do not stop.

Public order
The gathering, which includes concerts, conferences, and book and music stands, will be held on private land, at the Ciclamino hotel. At the end of the meeting that approved the event, the prefect of Trento Isabella Fusiello announced that, in order to manage public order and security outside the hotel, “interventions have been requested from the personnel of the State Police, the Carabinieri, and the Finance Police.” Additionally, as Fusiello explained, the presence of Digos personnel and units will also be expected inside the hotel “precisely to monitor their behavior, which if found to be of criminal relevance will be reported to the judicial authorities.”
On the sidelines of the meeting, the police chief Nicola Zupo added that it is estimated that the event will gather 300 or 400 people at most and that from the evening of September 2 until the 6th, 120-140 men will be deployed, also in anticipation of the protest march scheduled for Thursday the 3rd: “These men were requested not only to prevent clashes but also to ensure that the prescriptions issued by the police chief are respected by those participating in the gathering.”

The first reactions
At the end of the Committee meeting, the mayor of Dro Ginetta Santoni stated that “unfortunately we found ourselves having to manage this situation that we did not want. We do not share the spirit of the event and it is unfortunate that Pietramurata has to become a meeting place for extremists and be locked down.” However, the mayor also expressed confidence in the ability of provincial institutions to ensure that excessive disorder is avoided: “I am convinced that the authorities will guarantee the safety of the citizens.”
The mayor of Trento Franco Ianeselli also firmly condemned Return to Camelot on August 31, recalling that “Veneto Fronte Skinhead is one of the oldest Italian neo-fascist and supremacist organizations.” Ianeselli also emphasized the incompatibility of the far-right gathering with the presence of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, who will be in Trentino during the days of the event for the celebrations of the eightieth anniversary of the agreement that led to the autonomy of the province. “As historian Francesco Filippi wrote, it is one or the other: either the Nazi-fascist party is legitimized or the anti-fascist autonomy celebration is held, born from democracy and freedom won thanks to the partisan Resistance. The two things cannot coexist,” Ianeselli stated.
