ROME (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 13th October, 2018) Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said on Saturday that a firecracker was thrown into the office of his right-wing Lega party in the northern Italian city of Ala on Friday night ahead of his arrival in the city for an electoral campaign rally.

According to photos shared by media, windows in the building have been shattered as a result of the attack. Ugo Rossi, the governor of the northern Italian autonomous province of Trento, where the incident took place, said that two suspects in the case have already been detained.

"I am proud of the police and of our supporters, who have already cleaned everything up.

Certain characters have understood that people of Trentino want to turn the page, and reacted to this with violence," Salvini said via his official Facebook page.

According to the deputy prime minister, who is expected to arrive in the city later on Saturday to attend an electoral campaign rally ahead of the provincial election, the attack was perpetrated by anarchists.

The elections in the region are scheduled for October 21.

In August, another office of the Lega party situated in the northeastern Italian town of Villorba, was hit by an explosion.
