It has been brought to our attention that the Glasgow Celtic rebel band 'Charlie and the Bhoys' are playing a venue in Milan next week that has played host to extreme right-wing groups and was attacked by anti-Fascists in March 2013 for this very reason.
The gig takes place on Wed 25th February the night before Celtic's Europa League crunch game against Inter Milan.
The Limelight venue/nightclub is boycotted by local anti-fascists and leftists. It was attacked In 2013 with paint-bombs and flares during a march in Milan to mark the 10th anniversary of the murder of comrade 'Dax'. In the mainstream press and antifa websites, it was widely reported that this was because the venue "recently hosted a party for a group of extreme right".
Behind the scenes, the Limelight's owner's business partner is Marco Clemente (a candidate with the centre-right PdL party) who is married to Roberta Capotosti (former fascist organiser with the neo-Nazi MSI party) who was pictured giving a straight arm Nazi salute at a rally in April 2014.
The band were informed of the situation.
Neo-Nazis and fascists in Italy have always had a strong interest in Irish culture, music and history. Unfortunately many Irish bars in Italy are owned or frequented by fascists or their sympathisers. Fascist group Casa Pound brought out a cider in memory of Bobby Sands in 2010. However, this backfired and the organisation was embarrassed when the Bobby Sands Trust strongly condemned their cheap political stunt.
Republicans socialists in Ireland and Scotland have cultivated and maintained strong links with anti-Fascist comrades in Milan, Livorno and other Italian cities. Both sides hope that next week's events in Milan will result in a stronger friendship being built between Celtic fans and local anti-Fascists.
