Catania striker Giuseppe Mascara was subjected to fan abuse during his team's 3-1 defeat at Fiorentina.

According to football-italia.net, Catania sporting director Pietro Lo Monaco is furious over the abuse from the Fiorentina fans because the ultras targeted Mascara's family.

"The chants which they were singing against Mascara and his family were simply awful," said Lo Monaco.

"Some criticise Mascara for his behaviour but their chants about his mother were unbearable.

"I have always respected the Florentines but this time...

"If Mascara's behaviour offended someone then I am sorry for it but you can't sing that way about his family," He concluded.
