Tens of thousands rallied in Florence in Italy against the far-right League party, the latest in a series of demonstrations called by the new, youth-driven "Sardine Movement".
The sardine has become a symbol of protest against the far-right firebrand leader Matteo Salvini, who served as interior minister and deputy prime minister in the previous coalition government with the Five Star Movement.
Students, young professionals and families with children on Saturday joined the march, where the carrying of political banners was discouraged.
Demonstrators gathered in the city's Piazza della Repubblica sang the anti-fascist song "Bella Ciao" and shouted "Every sardine has the right to exist!"
