The secretary of the Association, Walter Crippa, who first discovered what had happened when he went to the facility at about 6,30 on Saturday 20, said "While I was reaching the area I saw smoke already in the distance and when I arrived the structure and the furnishings were still burning. I immediately called the fire brigade, because there was also a gas cylinder inside and I was afraid it would burst. From what I learned, the fire broke out at about half past three, started by someone who poured gasoline on the structure. They didn't steal anything and there was stuff, but they just wanted to cause damage: why? ”.
On the incident, the President of the municipal ACL of Brembate di Sopra, Giuseppe Crippa, said, "We do not stop in front of this despicable act and the race will be held regularly today 21 July starting at 6,30, despite the bitterness and the lump in my throat for what happened.
