during the march.
The latter were taken to the police headquarters after the riots to be identified and their position will be assessed in the next few hours.
At the end of the procession, the group of demonstrators with their faces covered attempted to create barricades by moving and overturning some rubbish bins
,
then tore up a glass bell from which they took bottles
, throwing them at officers in riot gear.

MILAN. THE GARDEN IN FRONT OF THE PRISON
In Milan, a group of demonstrators who gathered in the afternoon in front of the prison in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, have left the square in front of the penitentiary on the outskirts of Milan and are marching across the lawn to approach the building and carry a Greetings to all inmates.
From the procession, amidst a "freedom" shouted in chorus and other slogans, some smoke bombs were lit and banners unfurled.
The group of demonstrators then approached the outermost security fence of the penitentiary and
threw smoke bombs and rocks inside.
The outermost walkway is manned by vans and police officers in riot gear.
The group of demonstrators, in addition to throwing some smoke bombs and a few stones, 'drummed' with pieces of iron on the net outside the patrol walkway that delimits the penitentiary.
The demonstrators then sent insults and spits on the police forces.
From the procession that is winding its way through the fields around the prison, there are also slogans such as "we don't want any more prisons and CPR, we'll bring them down blow by blow".
At the same time the garrison is going on in front of the main entrance to Opera.
