Riot of Italian students

Italy’s new education reform has sparked a wave of riots over a student revolt. One of the protests was the “seizure” of a famous landmark – the falling tower in Pisa. Some of the striking group of students climbed the tower, while the rest of the protesters surrounded it, not allowing tourists. And in Florence, at first glance, quite peaceful demonstrations turned into clashes with the police. There are huge traffic jams on the streets of Rome as marches and rallies across the city interfere with traffic. Protests have reached cities such as Milan and Genoa. The Palermo city station was blocked and paralyzed for several hours due to the actions of the rebels. All this is due to the fact that the Italian Parliament is considering a bill to reduce the funding of educational institutions.
