In Melito di Napoli, Carabinieri arrested a 63-year-old man following an attempted femicide, where the individual had broken into an apartment to intervene in a violent attack.

Reports of vandalism and urban violence have also emerged. The headquarters of the Rifondazione Comunista party in Pontedera was vandalized, involving destroyed notice boards and torn posters. In Milan’s Porta Venezia area, a violent brawl between youth groups resulted in the destruction of local business furniture.
