Milan luxury shops close for fear of new unrest as government prepares to deploy troops
The deployment follows two days of clashes that left nearly 200 police officers injured and prompted shops to board up in the city center.
- On Monday, central Milan shops including Levi and Under Armour closed early and boarded up windows, fearing renewed unrest after two days of violent protests that saw demonstrators clash with police and loot stores.
- The unrest followed Saturday clashes in Milan and northern cities including Bologna, Brescia, Bergamo, and Turin, where initially peaceful demonstrations over poor public services and rising costs turned violent.
- Police detained 271 young people during Sunday's unrest, with authorities arresting 32 individuals including 23 minors and 13 foreign nationals, while a further 28 people were reported to judicial authorities.
- Luxury boutiques on Via Montenapoleone—including Chanel, Tiffany, and Dior—removed merchandise as a precaution, following the ransacking of retailers such as Decathlon, Arc, and Vodafone during the unrest.
- Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the violence and chaired a security meeting Monday, as the government plans to propose measures on Tuesday to combat youth gang outbreaks and extend preventive detention for minors.
