I'd completely forgotten until I heard warnings on the 9 o'clock radio news of areas to avoid in Roma/Milan, etc due to big demonstrations being held. Was on the A1 later in the morning and didn't notice any increase in traffic. Surprised to read it was raining in Rome, for it was a lovely day here.
