Some reports say there was panic after pepper spray was fired inside the club in the town of Corinaldo, near the eastern coastal city of Ancona, leaving 6 dead and dozens injured.


The Lanterna Azzurra club in Corinaldo on the Adriatic coast where rapper Sfera Ebbasta concert was held had over 1000 people in attendance.


Five of the victims were 14 to 16 years old, while the sixth was a 39-year-old woman who came to the club with her daughter.

The incident took place at about 01:00 (midnight GMT) as Italy began celebrating the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.


The concert had not yet begun when “acrid smell” forced crowds to rush towards the emergency exits. The accident occurred after railings gave way and people began falling off a walkway.


A further 120 people were injured, with about 12 seriously injured. Many of the injured suffered severe bruising while others had broken bones and limbs.

The injured have been taken to hospitals in Senigallia and Ancona. Seven are said to be in intensive care.


The fire service said in a statement on Twitter:

"The cause may have been the dispersal of a stinging substance, the young people fled and trampled over each other. Sadly, six people died and dozens are injured."


A 16-year-old boy who was taken to hospital told newsmen:

"We were dancing and waiting for the concert to start when we smelt this pungent odour.

We ran to one of the emergency exits but we found it blocked, the bouncers told us to go back."
