Overview
- Police sealed Piazza Leopardi and imposed parking bans after moving Roberto Vannacci's Futuro Nazionale event from via Cesarea for public-order reasons.
- Antifascist groups, trade unions CGIL and ANPI staged nearby presidi to contest Vannacci's presence and to reaffirm antifascist and constitutional values.
- Vannacci opened the day with a social media video promoting a 'triathlon futurista' and was expected to speak at 17:30 with the square kept under tight control.
- Authorities planned buffer zones and reconnaissance to keep supporters and opponents apart while uncertainty remained about whether port workers would join any demonstrations.
- The confrontation highlights how Italian police relocate and spatially manage contentious rallies in cities with strong Resistance memory and how civic groups use presidi to contest far-right public space.
