On 30 October 2026, clashes broke out in piazza Castello, Turin, between police and a march made up of students and activists. The march had approached the police cordons deployed in front of the Prefecture, which is housed in the same building overlooking the square [1].
How it unfolded
Faced with the protesters approaching the cordons, the police responded with baton charges ("cariche di alleggerimento"). Police also used a water cannon against the march [1].
Two versions of the report
The news was reported by Il Torinese, which published two versions of the article on the clashes, the first on 30 October and the second the following day, both with the same content regarding the baton charges and the use of the water cannon in front of the Prefecture on piazza Castello [1][2].
