Milan March Backs Leoncavallo and Pushes for Duomo Finale as Police Weigh Reroute

The municipality moves forward on a Via San Dionigi relocation plan criticized by the center right.

Overview

  • Organizers insist on finishing in Piazza Duomo after a procession from Porta Venezia, with a separate noon bloc departing from Piazza Duca d’Aosta.
  • Police have received the formal notice and are evaluating security, with Piazza Fontana indicated as the likely endpoint due to a diocesan school Jubilee at the Duomo.
  • Authorities have authorized the gathering and route through the inner ring roads, while holding off on a final decision on the last stretch into the cathedral square.
  • Turnout is projected in the tens of thousands, drawing social centers from across Italy and support from Arci, Anpi, Cgil, and left‑wing leaders including Angelo Bonelli and Nicola Fratoianni.
  • Mayor Giuseppe Sala calls the eviction a painful chapter and seeks a rapid alternative site, while the city’s Via San Dionigi call for socio‑cultural use runs to December 5 and faces center‑right criticism.
