Firecrackers in Rome's famous Via Veneto.

The street is better known as the place where "La Dolce Vita" was filmed -- and now demonstrators want a share of the good life.

Clashes erupted after protesters marched through the Italian capital, fed up with unemployment and homelessness.

Local media report that a man was seriously injured after a firecracker exploded in his hand.

Six demonstrators are reportedly being held for questioning.
