The inscription "Xiu", which in Chinese means " shame ", engraved with a pin on the body of a three-year-old Chinese girl.

The Rome Prosecutor's Office is investigating for voluntary injuries aggravated by racial hatred regarding the affair which dates back to November last year but which has only now emerged.

The proceeding was opened in recent months by the Capitoline magistrates after the complaint presented by the child's parents.

The incision, which disappeared after about twenty days, was made with a pin. A teacher of a nursery school in Garbatella has been entered in the register of suspects, but the man has already shown the investigators his extraneousness to the facts.

The magistrates are currently trying to reconstruct the outlines of the story and the investigations focus on the child's kindergarten. They have also ordered a probative incident and hope to be able to identify the author of the injury.
