151,000 follow him on his Youtube channel to see him break the rules of the road aboard his motorcycle at full speed on the mountains above Genoa or through the streets of the city.
Influencer Matteo Canepa, loved by teenagers, was however stopped on January 1 by a local police officer who fined him and seized his two-wheelers for 60 days.
The young man, who also has an Instagram channel with 17,000 subscribers, has always posted videos in which he ran without a helmet, on a wheel, revving up to frighten old women crossing the street.
In his stories he had always boasted that he had gotten away with it.
Until the new year when on the road he met a policeman who put the brake shoes on his wheels.
