Rome
From American Samizdat:
Chiara and I went to the manifestation yesterday. Participating were 2 – 3 million people (here there are always post-manifestation polemics regarding the actually number) and local news claims that Rome had the biggest turnout worldwide. Most everyone had a rainbow colored banner with PACE written on it. Groups of children were also present, their slogan being: pace – pace- la guerra non ci piace. And I ran into my next door neighbor who walked with a group of women aged post 50. Their slogan was: soldati, terroristi, noi siamo femministi. For awhile Chiara and I walked behind a van blasting Viet Nam era music and we all started singing along stuff like: the answer my friend is blowing in the wind. It was really all alot of fun.
