TENS of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in seven Italian cities on Saturday calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East, Ukraine and all global conflicts.

Peaceful rallies were held in Rome, Turin, Milan, Florence, Bari, Palermo and Cagliari, with the support of hundreds of groups and associations committed to peace, disarmament and human rights.
