Last weekend we were inadvertantly caughtup in a right wing rally that attracted thousands of people. Thousands came from all over Italy by bus.
Our first inkling of it was this group of young people whe were marching and chanting that they were the young Romans marching for their rights.
On the next day, Sunday we had lunch in the Jewish quarter
It was artichoke season and there were beautiful displays of the seasonal vegetables.

Other groups joined. In the newspaper reports it was stated that Matteo Salvini invoked the words 'March on Rome' words used by Mussolini 80 years or so ago.

We wandered around and came across a plain door. On the pavement outside, three small plaques noting the names, birth dates and dates of the inhabitants' arrest and destination.
It was chilling.
