The protest was held at various places such as Turin, Livorno, Rome, and many other places in Italy against the COVID-19 vaccine pass. People from different parts of Italy have bright their own food and drink and started eating food in front of restaurants in the protests against the banned entry for those who don’t have vaccine or green pass against the novel coronavirus. 

Thousands of people have gathered in front of the Palazzo Barbieri in fair Verona against health apartheid and President of Italy Maria Draghi. 

Moreover, the demonstrators across Italy have appealed the various other citizens to join the protests. The demonstration against the vaccine pass has also intensified on Twitter as citizens are appealing and posting videos and photos of the rally.
