Students from the University of Salerno marched from the campus to the Fisciano motorway exit in a peaceful protest that disrupted traffic and buses for about an hour.
According to Il Mattino Salerno, the mobilisation began with a public assembly in Piazza del Sapere and continued as a march across the campus before reaching the motorway junction.
Student representatives said the protest was intended to draw attention to transport and fuel costs, economic insecurity, social inequality, and opposition to government policies. The report also says students voiced opposition to university agreements with arms industries.
The Universita degli Studi di Salerno, based at Via Giovanni Paolo II in Fisciano, in the province of Salerno, reportedly suspended teaching activities for the day, including written and oral examinations. Degree ceremonies were scheduled to continue.
The article also reports a meeting between protesters and pro-rector Pietro Campiglia, during which students proposed a permanent discussion forum on the right to study.
The number of participants was not specified in the report, and the traffic disruption and duration of the blockade have not been independently confirmed beyond the newspaper's account.
