According to RT:
Violence broke out between police and demonstrators in Rome as tens of thousands took to the streets to protest Italy’s new budget.
“We are laying siege to the city!” chanted the crowd, as a small minority pelted the police and government buildings with water bottles and eggs.
Police say they confiscated tear gas canisters and rocks from some of the radicals in the predominantly youthful crowd and found chains stashed away along the route of the march.
Organizers estimated that 70,000 people took part in the protest, while authorities placed the number closer to 50,000.
That's fucking awesome that they got so many people on the streets. OWS was lucky to get 5,000 at their height, imagine what would have happened if 10 times that amount of people showed up!
