Tensions have escalated at Sapienza University in Rome, where right-wing student group Azione Universitaria and left-wing student collectives clashed vocally.
The right-wing students chanted slogans like "Out with the reds from the university!" and "We are the future of Italy," demanding the removal of what they called "intruders" from the university.
In response, left-wing groups countered with calls to "Take back Economics!" and invoked historical references to past political struggles.
The confrontation highlights the deep political divisions among students at one of Italy's most prestigious universities, reflecting broader societal tensions.
The administration faces challenges in maintaining order and ensuring a safe environment for all students.
