Strike in Italy with clashes and camping at the Colosseum

Thousands, mainly students and public workers, protested in Italy against the high cost of living and government policies. The general strike, organized by the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB), saw significant participation in major cities, especially Rome, where a camp was set up near the Colosseum. Protesters criticized government spending on military rearmament, claiming it neglects the needs of the people. Tensions arose in Turin with clashes between demonstrators and police. The strike is part of ongoing protests leading to another general strike planned for November 20, with heightened police presence due to previous violent incidents.
