Cost-of-living protests in Italian cities turn into riots

Large protests against the high cost of living were held on Sunday in the northern Italian cities of Milan, Turin and Bologna. The demonstrations were aimed at rising prices that make everyday life more expensive, and some of them turned violent.

During the protests, riots broke out. Participants set rubbish bins on fire, vandalised and looted shops and other commercial premises, and clashed with police.

The source gives no information about who organised the protests, how many people took part, whether anyone was detained or injured, or what specific demands the demonstrators made.
