The anti-establishment 5-Star Movement continued staunch protests against the government's decision to put a bill for a new election law to confidence votes in a bid to push it through.
We talk about it with Italian journalist Carlo Fusi.
The M5S say the bill is designed to scupper their chances of winning the next election, set to take place early in 2018, and other groups have also described it as an affront to democracy. Two of the three planned confidence votes on the so-called Rosatellum election bill were scheduled to take place on Wednesday. But a final, secret vote on the whole bill after Thursday's third and final confidence vote was expected to pose more uncertainty. Protests took place outside the Lower House and the Pantheon during the day. M5S founder Beppe Grillo on Wednesday called on the public to rise up against the bill.
