ROME - Italy will present a package of measures on Tuesday to support businesses hit by new restrictions aimed at reining in a second wave of COVID-19, officials said, at a time of mounting protests a

gainst the curbs across the country.

Demonstrators gathered in several cities during the weekend to protest against the closures and the nightly curfews imposed in some regions, with clashes breaking out in the southern city of Naples and in the capital Rome. "We had invested a lot of money to comply with security protocols after the first virus wave. Many of us have never reopened and now they hit us again," said Paolo Graziani, owner of the pizzeria Inforno in Ostia, Rome's seaside neighbourhood.

"After the lockdown in March and April, we had to pay staff out of our own pockets because of delays in the furlough scheme. Our workers only got the latest payment 15 days ago," he said.
