A Nigerian man, who was identified as Emmanuel Chidi, was reportedly beaten to death in what many described as a racist attack by an Italian man central Italian town of Paolo Calcinora on Tuesday July 6th. Reports have it that Emmanuel was walking on the road with his girlfriend, 24 year old Chinyere, when his attacker called her an "African monkey".


This infuriated Emmanuel angry and he rose to defend his girlfriend. An altercation ensued and his attacker used a ripped-out road-sign pole to hit him repeatedly on the head. He fell to the ground and never regained consciousness.

He later died in the hospital yesterday Wednesday July 6th. Chidi had been living in Italy for some months prior to the attack with his girlfriend in Catholic Charity, Caritas run shelter.
