Mario Balotelli made no impact on the game when Brescia lost to Genoa, but he did allegedly destroy a camera and the photographer is furious.

The incident occurred during the second half at Marassi, when Balotelli made way for Alfredo Donnarumma.

An Instagram post from professional photographer Massimo Lovati explained the situation, noting he had left his camera on a tripod next to the pitch as usual, controlled by a remote and 35 metre wire.

Mario Balotelli made no impact on the game when Brescia lost to Genoa, but he did allegedly destroy a camera and the photographer is furious.

The incident occurred during the second half at Marassi, when Balotelli made way for Alfredo Donnarumma.

An Instagram post from professional photographer Massimo Lovati explained the situation, noting he had left his camera on a tripod next to the pitch as usual, controlled by a remote and 35 metre wire.

“When Mr Balotelli was called back to the bench, he used the camera like a football and kicked it against the advertising boards. The ballboy who saw it happen immediately called me to explain.

“I found the camera and the booster were visibly damaged (the casing was smashed) and the camera no longer worked. Imagine taking your frustrations out on someone’s tools of business!”

The photographer said he told Brescia director Piovani about the incident and warned he would be sending a bill for repairs to the club.

“These are very delicate instruments that should not be kicked. It’s safe to say I am furious: respect, you need respect for people who are working and their tools of business!!!!”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Io con la mia fotocamera Canon con l’ obiettivo Canon 8/15 mm che anche stasera ho posizionato su piccolo trepiede e remotata con cavo da 35 metri dietro la porta sotto la gradinata sud. Allo stadio Ferraris di Genova per documentare da dietro la porta azioni durante la partita Genoa-Brescia.Il signor Balottelli quando e’ stato richiamato in panchina la ha usata come fosse un pallone e l’ha calciata contro i rotors della pubblicita’. Mi ha subito chiamato il raccattapalle che aveva assistito alla scena raccontandomi l’ accaduto . Ho constatato che la fotocamera e il booster erano vistosamente danneggiati ( la cassa della fotocamera spaccata) e la fotocamera non funzionava piu. Bella impresa prendersela con un oggetto di lavoro!! Non ho parole e volutamente non faccio commenti. Ho comunque parlato a fine partita con il Dott. Piovani Direttore del Brescia calcio e gli ho mostrato fotocamera danneggiata e obiettivo : gli ho detto che settimana prossima avrei portato il tutto da Camera Service Milano centro autorizzato Canon per verificare danni e quantificare il costo della eventuale riparazione o sostituzione ,sia per la fotocamera, il booster e l’obiettivo.Questi sono strumenti delicatissimi che non devono essere presi a calci.Avvilito comunque e’ dire poco: rispetto , ci vuole rispetto per persone che lavorano e per i loro strumenti!!!!
