Campaign of struggles in Italy against the Maloney government Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of the main cities in Italy to protest against the cost of living and the political directives of the government led by Prime Minister Georgia Maloney. The mobilizations spread across metropolises such as Milan, Florence, Naples, Genoa, Turin and Bologna, as well as several points in Sicily, while in Rome a protest camp was set up in front of the Colosseum and was supposed to remain until November 1st. Although most of the events took place peacefully, there were episodes of tension: in Turin, protesters clashed with police forces and threw garbage at the headquarters of the local government, and in Genoa, port workers burned tires and blocked access to the city's port.
