Maria Benedicta Chigbolu (Nigerian father, Roman mother), Ayomide Folorunso (born in Nigeria), Raphaela Lukudo (born in Aversa of Sudanese parents), Libania Grenot (born in Cuba, married an Italian in 2008) won the gold medal in the women's 4×400m relay at the Terragona Mediterranean Games.
And on Facebook and Twitter there is a deluge of comments and posts, the photo goes viral. The target is Interior Minister Matteo Salvini and his immigration policy. Sometimes irony says much more than a few responses to venom. Roberto Saviano and Matteo Renzi of the Pd speak and write, but also many ordinary people and the comments are the most varied. One among many: "When you look only at the color of the shirt and not at that of the skin ... that will be a great day!".
For a week I didn't open social networks or newspapers. I tell you why today in the #ENews. Meanwhile, yesterday's best news comes from the Mediterranean Games, not from Pontida. The Italy that is not afraid wins: #PrimeLeItaliane

Among others also Aboumakar Soumahoro, the trade unionist of the Rosarno laborers who took the field after the murder of the laborer in Calabria Soumayla Sacko, a 29-year-old from Mali who legally immigrated to Italy.
This image is both dream and hope. It is the testimony of an Italy of mestizo recomposition that no cultural political schizophrenia can ever erase. Just at the time of trying to hide the sun in its splendor with the hand of deception.#Relay race pic.twitter.com/lUaPxAB6Ut

Matteo Salvini's ears must be whistled, given that the Northern League leader has been close, he tweeted:
Very good, I would like to meet them and hug them.
As everyone has understood (except for some "right-thinking" and left-wingers)...
Cheers girls!!! pic.twitter.com/rZrkc5dKYk- Matteo Salvini (@matteosalvinimi) July 2 2018
