In Rome, activists from Greenpeace Italy and the CGIL trade union installed ice sculptures of workers exposed to the heat in front of the Colosseum to denounce the effects of the heatwave. This symbolic action aims to raise awareness of the growing risks for people working outdoors and to call for a phase-out of fossil fuels. It comes as Italy, like much of Europe, is experiencing temperatures close to 40°C.
