Hundreds of protesters waving Palestinian flags stormed Rome's Colosseum as cost-of-living unrest spread across Italy
Masked rioters force their way through entrance barriers at Rome's Colosseum, which protesters waving Palestinian flags stormed as unrest grew across the city.
Around 500 demonstrators breached the 2,000-year-old amphitheatre, chanting 'Tout le monde déteste la police', French for 'Everyone hates the police'. Security forces eventually pushed them out of the arena. Police fired tear gas and water cannon near Piazza della Repubblica. Giorgia Meloni sent about 500 soldiers to Milan to back 5,000 officers after looting there last weekend.
Versace and other luxury stores on Milan's Via Montenapoleone boarded up their windows against looters.
Milan protesters dumped manure outside the energy regulator and burned a giant electricity bill.
In France, which inspired the Italian protests, police arrested 1,314 people over the weekend, and 53 officers were hurt.
