Hundreds of unemployed people on Friday burned their utility bills in central Naples in a protest at the plight amid the cost-of-living crisis.
The protest by jobless belonging to the '7 November Della 167' movement took place outside the central post office in the southern city's Piazza Matteotti square.
"We are tried of promises," said one of the protestors.
"We have been waiting for jobs for years and now we cannot pay these figures, which have trebled (for gas and electricity).
"Our families are at the end of their tether.
"Up to now, there have been lots of words for us but not much action".
