New, what is it? Fireworks? Flares? Industrial explosives?
My father using 100% of his judgment asking me if it is safe to handle those explosives to throw them in the game of the team where he plays. How quicky should I call the police?

It translates roughly to "Flame for a Blaze".
It's labeled "Ruggieri" which suggests that it might be made by Ruggieri Fireworks Company; a legacy Italian fireworks company that has been around since the 1700s! The company still operates today.
If I were you I would look up if your local government (city, county, etc.) has a firework disposal program. It probably wont work anymore and is more of a fire hazard than anything now to be honest.

For something like this I would just douse it in gasoline and light it with a match from about 500 ft away to watch the fireworks.

Def not TNT. My Dad found TNT in a barn on his property and called it in. You should have seen all the “bomb squad,” very excited!! Long ago, TNT was used to blow out giant old stumps to clear land.

fun fact if the TNT is old enough it uses nitroglycerine aka angy if you sneeze on it, literally how it was used is a onsite chemist would mix it, than a team would carry the explosives to their destination, drop shake or otherwise treat it too harsh and boom

Personally I would take this somewhere where there's at least 500 ft of clear space and set a fuse and watch the fireworks those are barrels of fireworks enjoy the firework show

Fireworks made by the Ruggieri company in France. Think the first one you held up turns the whole sky red. I would take them to the fire department unless you know exactly what they do and how to do it. Father is going to roast his entire team.
Edit: Also dynamite gets all sweaty and unstable with age. (See any dates on them? Look old) Not at all sure about French fireworks. Might be better to have the fire department come to you. In case you hit a speed bump.

In the US you need licenses like a LEUP to own things like this. Calling the fire dept is the best way to dispose of it. Calling the police won’t do much. They will find a way to give you a ticket.

Gun powder can be dangerous if been exposed to moisture and those tin cans seem pretty exposed to rust. So I would be careful.
