Overview

• Two marches set off from Stazione Centrale at midday and from Porta Venezia in the afternoon, then merged before proceeding under an order to end in Piazza Fontana instead of Piazza Duomo.
• Authorities indicated the cathedral could be reached later depending on the conclusion of a religious event and public‑order conditions.
• Activists carried out a symbolic incursion at the Pirellino construction site, hanging “occupare è giusto” banners and setting off smoke and fireworks; Lambretta supporters also unfurled a banner at the former Leoncavallo premises.
• A splinter group of about forty people threw eggs and firecrackers at police near piazza Tricolore, while the larger procession remained mostly calm under a heavy security presence.
• Several politicians and cultural figures joined or backed the mobilization, including Nicola Fratoianni, PD Milano’s Alessandro Capelli, ANPI representatives and artists such as Claudio Bisio, Paolo Rossi and Bebo Storti.
