Overview
- Student occupiers said they would hand back Rome’s Liceo Augusto Righi on Thursday after 14 days, with classes expected to resume next week following cleaning.
- Investigators from Digos searched three people aged roughly 20 to 30 suspected of involvement in the raids, reportedly tied to circles linked to the former Lotta studentesca movement.
- Two consecutive nights saw attempts to force entry, including chants praising the Duce and bottle-throwing outside Righi and a later bid via neighboring Liceo Tasso that police patrols blocked.
- School authorities reported no confirmed injuries despite early claims, and an extraordinary school council voted for the occupation to end.
- Opposition lawmakers condemned the attacks as gravely serious and pressed the government, urging Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to address the issue in Parliament.
