    not knowing the code behind it.

    Idk how italy works on the matter but as a German it’d be highly unlikely not to know these. Since Italy was part of the axis it feels like people would be aware.

    For the uninitiated H is the 8th letter and HH is a shorthand for the hail. 88 is the dogwhistle

      Not to mention Lazio being known for having ultra groups that are borderline neo-nazi…
