MILAN, Italy – Police in Milan are investigating an incident which occurred, when a number of freshly planted, non-native palm and banana trees in the city’s famous Piazza del Duomo, were set ablaze early Sunday.
This followed anti-immigrant protests that had erupted the day before, involving right-wing movements known as the Lega Nord and CasaPound.
Starbucks, which plans to open its first Italian retail point in Milan in 2018, planted the trees as part of a contract it won to restyle the green spaces surrounding the equestrian monument to Victor Emmanuel II for the next three years.
