Protests in Rome too: Demonstrators throw bottles at police, who respond with water cannons and tear gas VIDEO

The incident occurred near Largo di Santa Susanna Square, where demonstrators began throwing bottles at law enforcement officers.

Police responded by deploying water cannons and tear gas, then carried out several operations to disperse the crowd and bring the clashes under control.

Police in Rome detained more than 200 young people today who attempted to cause unrest, Italian media reported.

Tensions escalated this afternoon near the Colosseum, when an unauthorized march forcibly entered the amphitheater, Roma Today reported.

Two protests had been authorized, including a rally called “Unblock Everything,” organized by right-wing student associations. The event ended without incident in the Prati district.

A group formed following clashes in Milan last weekend, the “October 17 Movement,” announced three gatherings for today via messaging apps and social media. The marches were expected to converge at a final location that had not yet been disclosed.

As a result, security measures were put in place involving more than 1,500 law enforcement officers.

Meanwhile, an authorized march titled “Italy Out of War” set off from Piazza della Repubblica in Rome.

The march, organized by the “Anti-Imperialist Axis” group, attracted around 100 demonstrators.

Alongside flags of Palestine, Cuba, Lebanon, and the Communist Party of National Unity, numerous Italian flags were also visible.

Several hundred demonstrators in the square chanted slogans against NATO and Europe's rearmament.

After the march ended, other groups of young people appeared, closely monitored by police deployed throughout the area.

One group then broke away and headed toward the Colosseum, attempting to reach the Flavian Amphitheatre, but was stopped by a police cordon and returned to Via Cavour.

They later managed to enter the Flavian Amphitheatre, but soon came back outside and clashed with police officers guarding the exit.

Rome is under heightened security measures today, with more than 1,500 police officers deployed to prevent a recurrence of the clashes that took place in Milan.
