A loud explosion alarmed residents in the Fornillo area of Positano after an unidentified person or persons set off a large firecracker, locally described as a "cipolla," outside Pensione Marialuisa.
According to Positano News, the blast damaged the entrance door of the guesthouse and several first-floor windows. No injuries were reported.
Carabinieri carried out inspections at the scene and opened an investigation to identify those responsible.
Deputy Mayor Emanuele Cafiero and councillors Vito Attanasio and Fusco also attended the scene, the report states.
The report characterizes the episode as a reckless prank rather than a more serious incident, while noting that fireworks of this type are illegal and dangerous.
