Activists with the Non Una di Meno group went topless on Saturday during a Rome march against femicide and violence against women.
The action was inspired by the protest of Iranian student Ahoo Daryaei, who stripped to her underwear at a university in Tehran.
"We are the loud, ferocious shout of all the women who no longer have a voice," chanted the protesters, holding a banner that read "It's my body, I decide".
Non Una di Meno also held a demonstration in Palermo.

A report by economic and social research institute Eures said Saturday that 99 women were killed in Italy between 1 January and 18 November this year.
It said that over a third of these women, 37%, were over 65 and in most cases they were killed by their spouse or one of their children.
It said foreign femicide victims rose sharply, from 17 last year to 24, meaning they account for almost a quarter of the total (24.2%).
The number of non-Italian femicide perpetrators, however, fell from 23 to 16, a decrease of 30.4%.
