Something like this happens in a town as small as Florence and you have no idea:
"In Florence, angry mobs plastered bank windows with rotten eggs and defaced the normally pristine city center with profane graffiti."
I was out all day yesterday, back and forth across town, and there was no evidence anything was going on...
The only thing I was aware of was some kind of teacher's strike - but I guess it was all tied into the Day of Rage.
