Summary
A chaotic midnight rehearsal for Italy’s Republic Day parade turned into a wild stampede when an unpermitted cop lit off fireworks near the Baths of Caracalla, terrifying horses and sending 35 galloping down Rome’s streets—including one found nearly nine miles away at dawn. Riders were thrown, a soldier suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung, and 15 horses were injured. The police commander admitted the incident “discredits the image” of the force, turning a planned celebration into an unforgettable, adrenaline-fueled mess.
