milano.corriere.it (Italian) —

Milan has imposed stricter security measures following weekend riots, with four adults jailed, eight minors placed in community homes, and ten urban bans issued. The government is deploying 500 additional soldiers to the city. The judge cited an "extremely high risk" of new disorder, while Prime Minister Meloni promised a "firm response." Authorities are considering extending preventive detention to 24 hours and applying it to minors, plus introducing aggravated damage charges. Meanwhile, false alarm messages spread through chat groups, causing widespread panic. Schools saw student protests over separate local issues, and rapper Fedez criticized artists supporting the rioters, saying wealthy celebrities have no real connection to the protesters' struggles.
