Licata restaurant receives racist messages for not eating pizza prepared by black people

Last Updated: November 27, 2023

In early November, Gianluca Graci, owner of “La fuazzeria” in Licata, Agrigento, shared a story on Facebook about experiencing racism in his restaurant. Customers refused to eat there because they had seen black employees, making racist remarks about hygiene and losing potential customers. Graci expressed his anger and disappointment, highlighting the hardworking nature of the employees, their gratitude for fair treatment, and comparing them favorably to white employees. This incident follows a similar case at the Ginger restaurant in Agrigento, where the chef, Senegalese Mareme Cissè, was discriminated against by customers due to her race.
