At least six people have been wounded in a series of drive-by shootings in a town in central Italy, and one man has been arrested, police and media say.
Those targeted in Macerata were black immigrants, media said.
The suspect, named locally as Luca Traini, 28, had an Italian flag wrapped around his neck when he was detained.
He had taken part in regional elections for the anti-immigration Northern League last year and reportedly made a fascist salute when he was captured.
Italy votes in national elections on 4 March, with immigration one of the key issues.
Mr Traini, who is from the surrounding Le Marche region, did not resist when he was detained after fleeing from his car near the town's war memorial. He is now being questioned. Police found a gun in his car.
The shooting had begun two hours earlier at about 11:00 local time (10:00 GMT), La Repubblica website reports.
