Protests against Gelmini's reform and revolution in the squares by italian researchers

In every italian town on Nov. 25 there has been a very important student protest.
So many landmarks along Italy have been assaulted by university students.
The reason of the protest is the education and research reform desired by the minister Gelmini. This reform proposes cutting funds for research and public university, new rules for recruitment of researchers and teachers, indirect support for private universities, new rules for primary schools.
In Italy the research is already in deep crisis, this reform is likely to make it disappear.

The interesting thing is that in the streets there's not lazy students, but conscious and mature researchers of their right in jeopardy.

The Pisa's Tower, the Mole Antonelliana, the Colosseum are part of the historical sites used to draw attention to the protest with banners and signs.







Tension in Milan and Florence, where police used batons against students.
In Naples, the researchers have occupied the rectory.
