Hundreds of protesters, many waving Palestinian flags, stormed the Roman Colosseum and clashed with police at its gates on Saturday as demonstrations in Italy intensified.
The protesters entered the ancient arena, cheering and shouting, before being pushed out by security forces. The incident occurred during widespread protests across Italy, with thousands marching in Rome, Milan, and Turin.
The demonstrations were organized to protest the current cost-of-living crisis and the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The unrest in Italy follows similar protests seen in France.
