A man climbed onto a ledge on the dome of St Peter's Basilica on Monday and unfurled a banner protesting against a "political horror show," an apparent reference to Italy's embattled coalition struggling with recession and high unemployment.
Identified by police as Marcello Di Finizio, the man unfurled a white banner reading "Stop this massacre! The political horror show is continuing," in English, with "Help us Pope Francis" in Italian. He also waved an Italian flag as he balanced precariously near the top of the 137-meter dome.
Italy is in its longest recession since quarterly records began in 1970, and jobless rates are close to record highs.
