Liberation Day in Italy was marred by violence. In the morning, President Mattarella laid a wreath at the Altare della Patria and later spoke in San Severino Marche, emphasizing peace and anti-fascism. Pro-Palestinian protests disrupted parades in Milan, Palermo, and Bologna, with the Jewish Brigade targeted in Milan. By early afternoon, a man in a helmet and camouflage shot two Anpi members with an air pistol in Rome, wounding them. Later, the referee designator Rocchi was investigated for sports fraud and suspended himself. The day's events drew condemnation from PM Meloni, who blamed the aggressors.
