Overview
- President Sergio Mattarella led Saturday’s wreath‑laying at Rome’s Altare della Patria with Giorgia Meloni and parliament leaders in attendance before departing for San Severino Marche.
- In Milan, the ANPI march will start together and then break into three endpoints: the main rally in Piazza Duomo, a pacifist stage in Piazza San Fedele, and a pro‑Palestinian bloc ending in Piazza Fontana.
- ANPI’s Milan chief, Primo Minelli, criticized the split and warned it weakens a united anti‑fascist front, reflecting disputes over how to frame the day’s message.
- The Brigata Ebraica plans to join the institutional corteo, while Milan’s Jewish Community will not take part officially due to Shabbat and recent tensions at the event.
- Authorities flagged a “delicate” climate with extra monitoring of protests, and the Forlì‑Cesena prefect banned a planned Forza Nuova event in Predappio for safety, as youth and local groups staged anti‑war actions across Resistance sites nationwide.
