Acid Satanism emerges in Bari with drug-fueled rituals and black masses

In Bari, a form of "acid Satanism" involving drug-fueled rituals and black masses has emerged. This phenomenon primarily involves small groups of young people using esoteric rites as a pretext for drug use, abuse, and other offenses, rather than organized cults. Authorities distinguish this youth-driven vandalism and profanation from more structured Satanic groups, with incidents including cemetery desecrations and theft of religious items.
