Two Romani people from Eastern Europe, most probably from Romania, died this week in a fire that destroyed three shanties at a "Gypsy campsite" in the Neapolitan town of Giugliano.
It is not yet evident what caused the fire, but officials announced that it was "probably an accident" even though the investigation is not yet complete.
The town of Giugliano is an area where episodes of anti-Romani violence have previously occurred.
