ROME – Italian students have occupied the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Rome's Colosseum to protest education cuts and university reforms being considered by parliament.
Italian news agency ANSA says some 2,000 students marched Thursday in the northern university town of Pisa, forming a human chain around its famous tower to prevent tourists from entering. Several students climbed inside the landmark as tourists snapped photos of the protest.
In Rome, students brandished banners reading "No profits off our future" as they marched around the Colosseum.
Thursday was the second day of protests against the reforms, which eliminate some areas of study and force schools that are running at deficit to close.
In Milan, police clashed briefly with students to keep them from entering the subway.
