Some reports say there was panic after pepper spray was fired inside the club in the town of Corinaldo, near the eastern coastal city of Ancona.

Up to 1,000 people were inside the Lanterna Azzurra club attending a concert by rapper Sfera Ebbasta.

Five of the victims were 14 to 16 years old. The sixth was a 39-year-old woman.

She had gone to the club with her daughter. The incident took place at about 01:00 (midnight GMT)…

The concert had not yet begun when "acrid smell" forced crowds to rush towards the emergency exits.

The accident occurred after railings gave way and people began falling off a walkway.

The best Italians were killed off in WWI and WWII or emigrated. What is left doesn’t inspire.

Young kids are allowed in Italian bars?

Nothing good ever happens after midnight.

In restaurants, children are served wine.

They have never heard of Shirley Temples.
