Digital influencer Chiara Ferragni came under criticism this Tuesday (25) after she posted a photo on social networks while enjoying her holiday in Salina, one of the Aeolian Islands in northern Sicily, as the region in southern Italy has faced several fires due to the searing heat.
Ferragni is on holiday with a group of friends and has rented a boat to go around the coves and enjoy the heavenly sea of the archipelago. “Happy Monday,” she wrote in the post.
The wife of the Italian rapper Fedez is one of the biggest influencers in the country and has 29.4 million followers on Instagram. She became the subject of controversy because many fans expected Ferragni to appeal or speak out about the difficult situation in Sicily, where several places have been destroyed by flames and people face more than 45ºC with no possibility of cooling down.
“Chiara, I love you and I follow you with pleasure, but you’re in Sicily and Catania is literally burning. I’ve been without electricity and water for days. I’m not saying much, but maybe a little story for your 25 million followers, so maybe who we have in government and the media decides to lend a hand to these people, right? What are you saying?” wrote one of the followers.
Some users have also asked the Italian company to send a plane to help fight the fires. “No Chiara, there is nothing good to celebrate in Sicily. Our land is burning. And honestly, we need some history of who you say you love,” said another.
Shortly after, Fedez shared a tweet in which he defended his wife from all those who accused her of not expressing her support for Sicily. However, minutes later the post was deleted.
In recent days, Italy has been divided into two parts: while southern Italy faces scorching temperatures and fires due to the scorching heat, the northern region has seen thunderstorms, hailstorms and floods. .
