False Bomb Alerts Disrupt Central Rome With Evacuations at FdI HQ and Palazzo Grazioli

Police declared the alerts unfounded following evacuations with bomb-squad checks.

Overview

  • Police cleared a series of alerts across the city center after checks on two abandoned trolleys near the Altare della Patria and in Largo Chigi.
  • The Largo Chigi bag contained only clothing, and traffic closures were lifted once artificieri completed inspections.
  • Fratelli d’Italia’s headquarters on via della Scrofa was evacuated as Fondazione AN and Secolo d’Italia offices were searched by K9 units and bomb technicians, who found nothing.
  • An anonymous call to 112 reported an explosive at Palazzo Grazioli, prompting evacuation and carabinieri artificieri and canine sweeps before the all‑clear.
  • The incidents came days after a similar false alarm at the Lega’s Milan headquarters, pointing to a short run of hoax threats under review by authorities.
