Rioters Storm Colosseum in Rome, Clash With Police Across Italy

Protesters clashed with police across Italy on Saturday, with some rioters waving Palestinian flags and briefly storming the Colosseum in Rome. Demonstrators shouted slogans against state lies. Giorgia Meloni's government asserted that expanded police powers prevented widespread disorder. These authorities utilized preventative detention, which resulted in the arrest of a primary architect of the Milan riots. Security forces engaged with the crowds at the gates of the Colosseum to maintain order during the unrest.
