The procession of the demonstration for peace in Rome started from Piazza della Repubblica.
At the opening, the Europe for Peace banner brought by scouts and young people from the Community of Sant'Egidio to follow the representatives of the promoting organizations and representatives of the institutions (mayors, banners, presidents of regions and provinces).
The procession will wind through via Terme di Diocleziano, via Cavour, piazza Esquilino, via Merulana and then arrive, after crossing via Manzoni, in piazza di Porta di San Giovanni.
Lots of rainbow flags and banners.
In front of the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, one was exhibited with the word "Peace" declined in ten languages.
The Europe for Peace procession will reach Piazza San Giovanni.

One peace, two squares.
Because in Milan, in the demonstration convened by the leader of the Third Pole Carlo Calenda, those who are not equidistant will meet, those who do not want an end to the conflict at any cost and who, they are keen to emphasize, do not combine peace with the surrender of Ukraine .
In Rome, on the other hand, the world of pacifism will have less distinction and more voices.
The secular and Catholic associations, Acli and Arci, the trade unions, the Disarmament Network, with the adhesions of the Pd, M5s and the Green Left Italy Alliance, will parade in the capital to ask for an "immediate ceasefire" and an international negotiation: 50 thousand are expected, but the organizers hope 100 thousand.
