In several European countries, leftists(左翼人士) inspired by weeks of protests in France have launched mass demonstrations of their own. But as in France, such protests are likely to benefit the right if they turn violent(演变为暴力). The clearest case is Italy, where in October secondary-school students began imitating their French peers and occupying classrooms in protest against underfunding.(最明显的例子是意大利，十月份中学生开始效仿法国同龄人，占领教室抗议经费不足。) Those have grown into broad demos(示威游行) over the cost of living, backed by left-wing parties and unions.
在一些欧洲国家，受法国数周抗议鼓舞的左翼人士也发起了自己的大规模示威。但正如在法国一样，如果抗议演变为暴力，这类行动很可能让右翼得利。最明显的例子是意大利：十月份，中学生开始效仿法国同龄人，占领教室抗议经费不足。这些行动后来发展为左翼政党和工会支持的、针对生活成本的大规模示威。
Things changed on October 17th, when several marches were hijacked(被劫持、被操控) by black-clad(黑衣的) gangs. Riots erupted in Turin and Bologna, and fires were set in Milan’s Piazza del Duomo. Shops were looted(遭洗劫), dozens of police injured and hundreds arrested. An October 17th Movement has emerged on Telegram and Instagram, calling for protests every Saturday until the government falls.(一个“10月17日运动”在Telegram和Instagram上出现，号召每周六抗议，直到政府倒台。) A march is planned in Rome on October 24th, and many expect violence.
10月17日，情况发生了变化：多场游行被黑衣帮派劫持。都灵和博洛尼亚爆发骚乱，米兰大教堂广场被人纵火。商店遭洗劫，数十名警察受伤，数百人被捕。一个“10月17日运动”在Telegram和Instagram上出现，号召每周六抗议，直到政府倒台。10月24日罗马计划举行游行，许多人预计会发生暴力。
The rioters lack obvious leaders but have an unofficial soundtrack: Fabri Fibra’s “In Italia 2024”, a doom-laden(充满末日感的) anthem(颂歌、主题曲) of social exclusion and rebellion. “We’re only at the beginning,” says Marracash, a rapper from Barona, a poor neighbourhood in Milan. The immigrant backgrounds of many rioters have provided ammunition for Matteo Salvini, head of the populist-right Lega party, to call for barring the Italian-born children of immigrants from acquiring citizenship if convicted of crimes.(许多骚乱者的移民背景为右翼民粹政党联盟党党首马泰奥·萨尔维尼提供了弹药，他呼吁禁止移民的意大利出生子女在犯罪后被授予公民身份。)
骚乱者没有明显的领导人，却有一首非官方主题曲：法布里·菲布拉的《在意大利2024》，一首充满社会排斥与反叛的末日圣歌。“我们才刚刚开始，”来自米兰贫困街区巴罗纳的说唱歌手马拉卡什说。许多骚乱者的移民背景为右翼民粹政党联盟党党首马泰奥·萨尔维尼提供了弹药，他呼吁禁止移民的意大利出生子女在犯罪后被授予公民身份。
