Northern League leader Matteo Salvini called a protest against the government's handling of the riot, which he called a "global embarrassment", for Monday in front of Milan's La Scala opera house.

Officials said they would maintain the reinforced security measures introduced before the riot, which included almost 4,000 extra police assigned to protect Expo 2015.
