Euno presents herself as a girl, at least on social media. At the moment, in at least two cases of young people who stab their teachers, they have shown that they are in possession of personal chats recovered before the attack. There is a common thread that unites these stories.
There are two cases, distant only on the map. One, the most recent one, in province of Trapani. The other, in March, in province of Bergamo. That’s pretty much the only difference. The rest is similar, too much so. Details on the Trapani case are only emerging in the last few hours. On May 29, an 11-year-old boy tried to hurt his technical education teacher with a knife. A handmade writing on the t-shirt “I don’t care”. The professor immediately stopped the attack, making good progress a slight wound to the hand. Investigators are now speaking of a “missed massacre”.
He arrived at school with a black helmet full of white writing. They all made references to massacres. We have recovered the images. There is the reference to Columbine High Schoolwhere in April 1999 two boys, Eric Harris And Dylan Kleboldthey entered armed and killed 13 students and a teacher. Let’s read the word Incelthe movement made up of young people who define themselves as involuntary celibates. But we also read the name of Roberto Glebonithe man who shot dead his wife, two children and his neighbor in September 2024 in Nuoro.
But they are also there disjointed writings: we read “W PD” and “For Europe”, next to it there is a Star of David. An unclear universe, which brings together violence, political messages and social subcultures. The same universe that the boy in Bergamo he entered the school and stabbed Chiara Mocchi, a French teacher. He too with a handwritten t-shirt, this time with Vendetta. He too made references to massacres of the past, he too was very young: he had 13 years old.

All the points in common between the two cases: the symbols and the sentences
In Bergamo the attack took place live, probably on a closed Telegram group. The boy hung his cell phone around his neck and rushed towards the teacher. In Trapani it is not yet clear where it was broadcast. Here the student mounted a GoPro on his helmet but it is not clear whether he just wanted to record or broadcast live, perhaps always on Telegram or Discord. In any case, the two didn’t just want to stab a professor: they wanted to be seen.
In both cases, before the attack, some were left behind tracks on social media. The boy from Bergamo had talked about his plan in a Telegram group, had distributed images to be used and also shared a letteralmost a kind of manifesto. Here the images that are circulating come mainly from TikTok. There are photos of the helmet, with all the writing. And there are also phrases that announce the massacre: “Don’t blame me for what I will do in 4 hrs”, “Don’t judge me for what I will do in 4 hours”.
The aesthetics are the same. Memes, music similar to hyperpop, photographs taken without too much care. It is the language of the True Crime Community, online groups found mainly on Telegram to share material with a very high threshold of violence. Materials that sometimes they are simply exchangedother times they are created by users. Often with acts of vandalism and injuries caused to the room.
The case of Euno: the account where everything comes
And then there is one last element. Perhaps the most complex to identify. In both the cases of Bergamo and Trapani there is an account that has started sharing materials spread by young people. Telegram chat, photographs, elements that make you think of a contact with them before the massacre. On TikTok the account is called and one. It looks like one lass but obviously anyone can hide behind her, as she explained Serena Mazzini in the ValeTutto newsletter.
In the case of Trapani he shared a chat on Telegram that shows an exchange that took place the evening before the attack. There are several users in the chat, they are exchanging information. One says: “Tomorrow, Italy, Sicily”. The others ask what time. A signal that most likely indicates that the boy from Trapani had already warned of what he wanted to do on a Telegram group. And again: it last May 11th in an abandoned structure in Pordenone, a group of people entered at night and defaced the walls. Among these, two words stand out. “Vendetta”, the same written on the t-shirt of the boy from Bergamo and “Hail Euno”.
