Italy has come to a dramatic standstill as workers across the country launched a massive nationwide strike today. From bustling cities like Rome and Milan to smaller towns, public life has been heavily disrupted, with transport systems, schools, and even some hospitals affected.
The strike, which has been brewing for weeks, is said to be one of the biggest in recent years. Workers are protesting against rising costs of living, low wages, and government policies they claim are making life unbearable for ordinary citizens.
In Rome, thousands gathered with banners and chants, demanding better pay and fair working conditions. Trains and buses have been grounded, flights delayed, and many offices closed. “We are tired of working hard but still struggling to survive,” said one protester.
Shops, markets, and even universities joined in the shutdown, leaving streets unusually empty. Reports say that emergency services are still operating, but many non-essential public offices remain locked.

For now, Italians are united in one message: they want change, and they want it now.
