A group of demonstrators reportedly forced open the gates of the Colosseum in Rome and occupied the ancient amphitheatre, leaving tourists inside shocked. The incident is being compared to a similar action at Milan's Duomo cathedral a week earlier, with critics calling it an attack on Italy's most recognisable symbol and a blow to the country's image abroad. Commentators are asking what authorities will do in response.

Why now: A high-profile occupation of Italy's most famous monument, shortly after a similar protest at Milan's cathedral, has sparked outrage and debate over public order.
