FLORENCE, ITALY ¨C African immigrants and Italians protested in Florence for a second day on Tuesday, chanting ¡°no more racism¡± and criticizing the anti-immigrant League party for stoking racial tensions after an Italian man shot dead a Senegalese street vendor.
Police said Roberto Pirrone on Monday fired six pistol shots at close range, killing Idy Dienec as he sold leather bags, umbrellas and trinkets on a bridge in the Tuscan city, one of Italy¡¯s most popular tourist destinations.
Later, dozens of immigrants marched through the historic center of Florence, knocking over trash bins, motor scooters and large flower pots.
