Italian far-right party Forza Nuova hung a banner in Brescia calling Mario Balotelli “more stupid than black”.

The striker grew up in the northern city after being adopted by an Italian family, having been born in Palermo to Ghanaian parents.

Despite being born in Sicily, Super Mario had to wait until the age of 18 to be officially considered Italian and has stated that he feels the law should be changed.

The striker grew up in the northern city after being adopted by an Italian family, having been born in Palermo to Ghanaian parents.

Despite being born in Sicily, Super Mario had to wait until the age of 18 to be officially considered Italian and has stated that he feels the law should be changed.

That hasn’t gone down well with one of Italy’s far-right parties, who have hung a banner insulting the striker in his home town.

“Balotelli, you are more stupid than black” the banner reads in the local Brescian dialect.

A statement then accuses Balotelli of “flaunting for years his exuberance and wealth”, and says he should tell young Africans “to stay and build their own future” rather than seeking a better life in Europe “perhaps with the help of some generous kinsman who could give up one of his many Ferraris to make all his brothers happy”.

The party is a fringe movement in Italy and the coalition it joined for the 2018 elections, Italy for the Italians, failed to win a single seat.

Forza Nuova is against same-sex marriage and abortion, as well as immigration, and has called for recent immigrants to be deported back to their country of origin.
