Protesters stand by women's undergarments symbolically hanging from a clothesline, during a demonstration of restaurant owners and workers, entrepreneurs and small businesses owners on April 13, 2021 at Circo Massimo in Rome, demanding the easing of lockdown restrictions and financial assistance from the government, during the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. - Lingerie has become a symbol of retailers' protests, particularly in Naples, because since underwear is considered an essential item, shops that sell them can stay open through the lockdown. Placards read "There is only one thing to do, reopen businesses" (L), "Italy in colours has left us in our underwear" (C) "After months of closures, if restaurants were the problem, the virus would have disappeared" as "Ristoratori Maremmani" means "Restaurants owners from Tuscany's Maremma region".
