Protests clash with police in Rome and Turin

Protests erupted in Rome and Turin as demonstrators clashed with police during a general strike organized by the USB union. The protests were fueled by issues such as the cost of living, war, and government policies. In Rome, some protesters broke away from the main march towards the Colosseum, leading to violent confrontations with police. In Turin, police used water cannons to disperse protesters attempting to breach a security cordon. Recent weeks have seen escalating violence during protests across Italy, raising concerns about public safety.
