The Crowd as Suspect

After the October 2026 riots in Milan, Italy’s government took only four days to pass a new security decree. Organisers now face up to twelve years in prison, longer than those who throw the stones. In 1628, Manzoni’s Milan answered its bread riots with „a little fear“. The new law does the same and treats the whole crowd as a suspect.

Abstract

After the October 2026 riots in Milan, Italy’s government took only four days to pass a new security decree. Organisers now face up to twelve years in prison, longer than those who throw the stones. In 1628, Manzoni’s Milan answered its bread riots with „a little fear“. The new law does the same and treats the whole crowd as a suspect.
