An antisemitic message reading “Jews Not Welcome” has appeared on a wall in the central Via Lamarmora in Nuoro, in the historic area known as Sos Sette Fochiles.
Written in black spray paint on the wall of an old house, the phrase clearly conveys hostility toward Jews and evokes memories of one of the darkest periods of European history, when similar signs appeared outside businesses across the continent before the persecutions that culminated in the Holocaust under the Nazi regime.
According to local reports, the graffiti has remained visible for about a week without being removed or formally reported. Observers have criticized the delay, calling the message an explicit expression of hatred and discrimination based on religion and ethnicity.
Above the graffiti, a piece of fabric displaying the colors of the Palestinian flag has also been hung from a nearby balcony. Another phrase appears on it, reportedly referencing “Free Palestine,” although it is difficult to read clearly.
The juxtaposition of the Palestinian symbol with the antisemitic slogan appears to connect the Middle East conflict with a message excluding Jews, raising concerns that political criticism is being conflated with discrimination against an entire people.
The incident has drawn attention locally, particularly as the city is preparing to host the Giro di Sardegna caravan in the coming days.
