Italy: Protesters plan to march in Florence on March 23
Protesters plan to march to Piazza Pietro Leopoldo in Florence, Italy, from 15:30 on March 23. Localized disruptions likely.
Protesters plan to march in Florence on the afternoon of March 23. Participants will gather from 15:30 outside the Esselunga supermarket on Novoli Street and march to Piazza Pietro Leopoldo. Demonstrators will march along Mariti and Milanesi streets. The protest will mark one month since the death of five construction workers in the city, which demonstrators allege was due to poor working conditions.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the gathering. Localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest sites. The action is likely to remain peaceful, but skirmishes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the demonstration sites or march route. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
