Chaos erupts across Italy as police brutally crack down on protesters to regain control

Violence has once again gripped Italy as several protests and police clashes erupted over the weekend. Wild footage from Turin, Rome and Milan showed demonstrators protesting the rising cost of living, the ongoing war in Gaza and military rearmament. On Saturday, protests in Turin turned especially violent, with police brutally cracking down on demonstrators. The clashes over the weekend follow wild riots that swept through Italy last week, with cities Bologna, Milan and Turin affected by the violence. Demonstrations in Rome also turned ugly, after hundreds stormed the 2,000-year-old Colosseum.
