This is the testimony, published by the Republic, a professor at the present Piazza Navona
I arrived at Piazza Navona to 10.00. The area was presided over by numerous police and just as many policemen, Course Renaissance was inaccessible.
The square was full of kids about 15 years. Many were crammed into the narrow lane Agonale that is right in front of Palazzo Madama. It was like being on a bus at rush hour.
I put in a marble bench and a lamp post, watching the Senate, in front of me on the left side of the truck Cobas, who were there as announced.
I did not like the atmosphere, the slogans that I felt lacked the freshness of the latest events.
On my right I saw a white van who tried to reach the very end of Agonale Lane. On the roof of the white van were older boys. Not high school students, some in their thirties. They had the microphone, and many of their cameras. I remember perfectly a blonde, very young, which filmed everything. Hoarse voices and harsh. Mirrored sunglasses.
other truck suddenly someone shouted that they were charging. I thought: "Police" and tried to calm the girls who were about me, telling them not to run, that would have done poorly. I have not been (rightly) have listened and I was thrown, and partly on cadendomi treading on the bench.
Freed from the bodies that I were him, I got up and I saw them splashing around me, kids with their faces covered and discovered that iron straps and buckles beat anyone happen within range. Some of them used helmets. I saw a guy get punched to the ground and kicked by a group. I saw him stand up and be able to escape with the blood that dripped from her face, while continuing to take the strap. I was shaking like a leaf. I started screaming to stop. Next to me another woman, my age, asked those who were thugs.
I screamed: "Where is the police?" They're hitting children! ".
is back after a strange calm. I would have wanted to go, but seeing only meager adults in that square of teenagers, I did not want: If the white van were attacked again, at least a couple of adults should try to stop them.
's attacked, especially the girls, wanted to send them away. I searched for what I could to calm her. I was afraid for them and for me: the boys of the truck they would have massacred.
This is after one hour. Surreal. From the white van were heavy slogan, vulgar. I wondered: "How can they stay here, no one does anything?"
before me in a particular way-go, some gentlemen in suits and ties, fifties; one with walking difficulties and accompanied by an elegant lady, in slacks, dark suit, coming from the left side of the square, ranging from children of the truck and talked with them. Mr. and Mrs. I have passed at least three times before. Then there came a decade in a procession, sports clothes, between forty and fifty. They had walkie-talkies. They spoke with the young men of the white van and then they left.
One student injured rescued by a teacher
Shortly after he arrived un'autombulanza empty, from the right side of the square, which is placed behind the white van, which slowly started and on over the truck Cobas, is gone, followed by thirty guys who were screaming. Behind them the autombulanza empty.
I thought: "Finally they leave, escorted." I headed down to Corso Vittorio Emanuele to go home and I saw a procession to arrive. In aid of the beaten before, I thought. I screamed: "These violent are gone!". But then I saw from afar that were not turned away entirely. They had been moved just across the square.
What happened next is unknown.
I wonder
- How was it possible that in Piazza Navona, full of young boys and girls peaceful, and a pickup truck full of clubs and bars? Because the police had also shielded the area has not checked?
- Why the police did not intervene while unarmed teenagers were beaten by thugs with belts and helmets?
- Who was the man in a suit and tie with an obvious problem in walking, accompanied by a lady in a dark suit, which several times and for a long time he met with the youth of the white van?
- Who were the other gentlemen, always dressed with suits and ties, which have also talked with them?
- Who were the men with walkie-talkies?
- un'autombulanza Why was sent to the streets to accompany the white van and young people who were in the immediate vicinity, but in the end was brought out at all?
