At Rome's prison Rebibbia they were joined by prisoner advocates who draped a banner across a police barricade reading "Free them all."
Tensions in Italy's overcrowded prisons erupted Monday over new coronavirus containment measures, with riots in at least two dozen lock-ups and the deaths of six inmates who broke into an infirmary and overdosed on methadone.
The Italian government has issued sweeping measures to try to contain the virus, limiting travel into and out of northern regions, canceling schools nationwide, barring gatherings of people and urging Italians to keep a meter (about three feet) apart.
With more than 7,300 infected, Italy has more virus cases than any country outside Asia.
