A group of senior citizens on Tuesday
forced the lock on a shut-down centre for the elderly in Rome's
XV borough and occupied the premises.
The protest is against the authorities' prolonged failure to
do the work necessary to reopen the centre, where the senior
citizens used to dance, play cards and bowls, and chat, after it
was temporary closed for being declared unfit for use.
The group hung up a 20-metre wide banner declaring
"Occupation" and have vowed that "we won't go until a solution
is found".
