One dead and 200 injured in Napoli's Scudetto celebration party
Napoli took to the streets to celebrate the fact that, after 33 years, the team had won the Serie A title. The party lasted all night: there was gunpowder, flares and, unfortunately, too many incidents. One person died and 200 others were injured.

Napoli's Scudetto celebrations in the early hours of Thursday morning left one dead and more than 200 injured.
The deceased is a 26-year-old man who died of gunshot wounds. The young man was hospitalised at Cardarelli hospital, where he died shortly afterwards, local media reported.
Known to the local police and with a criminal record, the man was caught in an ambush that had nothing to do with the celebration of the league title, according to initial reconstructions.
In the same incident, which took place in Piazza Volturno, near Naples central station, three other men were shot and wounded.
In addition, a 20-year-old woman is in hospital in Frattamaggiore, in the province of Naples, with a serious, life-threatening cranioencephalic trauma and cerebral haemorrhage.
The young woman was run over while she was with three other people during the celebrations by a man who crashed into the wall outside the Carabinieri barracks in Casoria, running over the four people who were walking there.
The driver tried to run away on foot, but security footage allowed him to be identified and reported. The 4 people hit by the car, all between 20 and 31 years old, were taken to different hospitals.
In addition, the long Neapolitan night ended with more than 200 citizens requiring medical attention for various reasons.
Among the most repeated were those related to injuries from the use of fireworks or flares, as well as smoke inhalation; contusions and fractures from falls or clashes; and panic attacks.
