Naples: Seven people reported for the massive brawl in Bagnoli over an old love affair.

A violent afternoon unfolded yesterday on Via Andrea Doria, in Naples, where years-old family resentments erupted in a street fight involving at least thirty people. Around 17:45 PM, the Carabinieri Operations Center received a report of a fight between several individuals near numbers 40–42–44.

Within minutes, a patrol from the Naples Fuorigrotta Station and the Operations Unit of the Naples Bagnoli Company arrived on the scene, supported by the Radiomobile Unit – Motorcyclist Section. The chaos was complete, but the officers immediately focused on a 45-year-old man: his head and clothes were soaked in blood and his condition appeared serious. Emergency personnel called 118 and administered first aid and transported the injured man to the San Paolo Hospital in Naples.

The Roots of the Argument: A Love Story Gone Wrong

According to initial reports, the fight has its roots in a long-standing relationship. A 29-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman, both Neapolitan, had a relationship as teenagers that later ended. She had started a new relationship with a 25-year-old man, with whom she had a daughter. A bitterness between the two families has never subsided, and it continued until yesterday.

Sparks flew when the 21-year-old, riding a motorbike with her new partner, crossed paths with her ex-boyfriend on Via Andrea Doria. A heated argument ensued. Fearing an attack, the two attempted to ride away on their motorbikes, but the tension didn't subside: the argument quickly escalated into a fight.

The clash: two "factions" and the blows with the metal stick

Members of both families arrive, and the street becomes a metropolitan ring. On one side, a 52-year-old man with his two children, the 29-year-old protagonist of the old affair, and a 21-year-old. On the other, the 45-year-old man later taken to the hospital, his 45-year-old wife, his 58-year-old mother-in-law, and his 21-year-old ex-girlfriend.

During the fight, the most seriously injured man was repeatedly struck with a metal stick brandished by members of the opposing faction. The 45-year-old's wife suffered a punch to the right eye, inflicted by the 29-year-old.

The 29-year-old and his 21-year-old brother were also involved in the fight, suffering cuts and abrasions. The excitement of the moment prevented a timely photographing of the injuries of the other injured, while the 58-year-old mother-in-law and her 21-year-old ex-girlfriend left for the hospital.

Two sticks seized

To maintain public order, the intervention of the Carabinieri Radiomobile Unit – Motorcyclist Section was also necessary. Subsequent checks confirmed the lack of public video surveillance systems capable of recording the scene.

The only cameras in the area, inside a vape shop where one of the families had taken refuge during the clashes, did not cover the street.

Inside that very business, the Carabinieri found and seized two sticks, one wooden and one metal, believed to have been used during the violent fight. The investigation continues, including the acquisition of medical records from those receiving treatment and the reconstruction of the events.

The toll: seven people reported for brawling

Seven people have been charged with brawling. Investigations are continuing to determine the details of the incident and the circumstances surrounding the incident. Some of the people involved who sustained injuries during the brawl are still awaiting full reports.

If you like, I can adapt the piece to a more "court reporting" style (with a focus on alleged crimes, articles of the penal code, possible aggravating circumstances) or to a more "neighborhood" style, with greater emphasis on the urban context and the reaction of residents.
