Antonio Candreva: Footballer helps tuna-and-crackers lunch girl
Candreva is a "golden-hearted" midfielder, Inter Milan 's fan website says
Inter Milan football star Antonio Candreva has stepped in to pay school meal fees for a girl from a poor immigrant family who was given tuna and crackers instead of the normal lunch.
Italian media say The Girl burst into tears when she was given the reduced lunch, at a primary school near Verona.
"I'm ready to help the parents pay the canteen," Candreva told The Mayor of Minerbe, 35km (22 miles) from Verona.
A political row erupted, as The Mayor is in the anti-immigration League.
The League 's most prominent politician is Interior Minister Matteo Salvini , in a populist coalition government with anti-establishment Five Star .
Minerbe's Mayor Andrea Girardi said The Girl 's reduced meal of tuna and crackers was simply a gesture of "correctness towards the families who pay the [canteen] fee regularly".
The centre-left Democratic Party (PD) accused The Authorities of "a discriminatory choice".
Reports say other children ate pasta and a second dish, while The Girl just had tinned tuna and crackers.
The story went viral on Italian Social Media and it emerged that other children from poor Immigrant Families faced a similar predicament at The School .
In some cases, according to The Daily La Repubblica , teachers gave their lunches to children whose parents could not afford the canteen fee.
, said "we're helping about 30 families who are in difficulties at that school".
Explaining The School meals policy, he said: "We face dozens of insolvent parents and can't cover the costs. So we decided on a line that could move things on.
"We didn't want to get to this point, but we risked failing to provide meals for the families who did pay regularly. "
Minerbe's PD councillors were quoted as saying: "How can you call it fair, when a primary school girl is humiliated because her parents are in arrears?"
