Equal opportunity protests? This happened on the Thursday that I stayed at the apartment in Rome. I am going to have to depend on the others to comment as to what they saw take place during the day. I saw this sign as we were going home one night.
The more I research, the more I realize that I have no idea what was going on. Sara! Kalen! Karl! help!
AHHHH: there is a Facebook page:

While walking between the Pantheon and the Trevi fountain we came across a group of seniors in their mid 70's marching and carrying yellow flags. They were headed toward a piazza where the government buildings were. It was the piazza where the workers were protesting the day before. They were obviously not happy about something.
