7 November 2026 march in Turin
Date of the event:
On 7 November 2026 a march of students and workers was held in Turin, organised following a public assembly held at the Luigi Einaudi Campus, occupied since 26 October 2026. The demonstration formed part of a cycle of mobilisations that includes the general strike of 30 October 2026 and the protests of 17 October 2026, focused on issues such as the cost of living, rising rents, rising fuel prices, opposition to war and rearmament, and cuts to education and healthcare [1].
Route and participation
The march set off from the city centre, heading towards the northern part of Turin. More than ten groups spoke at the public assembly that preceded the demonstration, including Cobas, the Assemblea Studentesca CPS, Cambiare Rotta, Torino è contro il riarmo, Torino per Gaza and Scuola per la Pace Torino. These groups had joined the Torino in piazza movement, described as the local branch of the national Italia in piazza network, which its promoters describe as a coordination network between different groups rather than an association or single organisation [1].
On the same day similar demonstrations were held in other Italian cities, including Genoa, Florence, Bologna, Udine and Lecce, with calls to continue the mobilisation "without let-up" and the announcement of new initiatives planned at other Turin university sites [1].
Effects on public transport
Ahead of the march, Gtt, Turin's public transport operator, announced possible changes, diversions and delays on public transport lines crossing the demonstration's route from 2pm on Saturday 7 November, with possible temporary restrictions also on access to metro stations and underground car parks in the city centre. The via Viotti entrances and exits of the Castello car park were closed from midday until further notice, while access to the Roma and San Carlo car parks was managed in real time [1].
