Protests against war and rising living costs erupted in major Italian cities on Saturday, turning violent in Turin, Rome, and Bologna, prompting a heavy police deployment and shop closures. The demonstrations followed clashes last weekend where protesters fought police, looted shops, and vandalized property. Authorities made extensive security arrangements after calls for further protests circulated on social media, while Milan saw largely peaceful demonstrations. Italian police detained a person allegedly linked to organizing the "October 17 Movement" behind last weekend's unrest, taking them to police headquarters in Milan for questioning.
