Demonstration of 14 November 2026 in piazza Castello
Date of the event:
The demonstration of 14 November 2026 is a march called by the Torino in Piazza movement, gathering at 3 p.m. in piazza Castello, in Turin. The event is part of a series of Saturday mobilisations against the cost of living, high fuel and energy bills and cuts to education and healthcare, announced by the movement with the slogan «in the streets, every Saturday, until there are answers».[1]
Background
The gathering was announced the previous Saturday in piazza Crispi, at the end of a demonstration in which more than a thousand people marched from the city centre to the northern part of Turin.[1] The 14 November gathering point is the permanent protest camp at the foot of the monument to the Duke of Aosta, a gazebo set up in piazza Castello since 7 November.[1]
Organisers and demands
The Torino in Piazza movement is backed by other local groups, including Torino è contro il riarmo (Turin is against rearmament) and student collectives. The poster circulated on social media carries the claim «We will not stop until the Meloni government falls. Food. Peace. Education. Health. Dignity. Future.» The organisers stated: «They are trying to distract attention from our demands, from the occupations, from the protests. The bomb-threat scare in schools has spread panic, yet the dissent holds. We remain focused on our demands.»[1]
Route of the march
The march left piazza Castello to cross via Po as far as via Rossini, then turned into corso San Maurizio and corso Regina Margherita towards Porta Palazzo, as far as Rondò Rivella. After crossing the bridge over the Dora, on corso Regio Parco, the route continues on corso Palermo, then via Bologna and corso Novara to the open area by Turin's Monumental Cemetery, where the demonstration is expected to end.[1]
Effects on traffic
The march, crossing first the centre and then the Aurora district, caused possible traffic disruption, with streets temporarily closed and diversions. Changes and delays were also expected on Gtt lines crossing the route, from 1 p.m. until the end of the demonstration, along with possible restrictions on access to metro stations and underground car parks in the city-centre area.[1]
Upcoming events
The 14 November demonstration precedes a further event planned for Friday 20 November: the student strike marking International Students' Day and the national strike called by the Cgil trade union.[1]
