Football violence spread to cities throughout Italy after the shooting
Police chiefs, politicians and football administrators are meeting in Italy to discuss violence that erupted after a policeman shot dead a fan in Tuscany.
Police said the killing, in the city of Arezzo during clashes on Sunday between rival fans, was "a tragic error".
It triggered violence in Rome, Bergamo and Milan and resulted in several Serie A matches being cancelled.
Last season Italy's football programme was badly disrupted after a policeman was killed in a riot in Sicily.
New measures were introduced and stadium security was tightened in an effort to dampen hooliganism.
Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi has called for a full investigation into Sunday's shooting, and described the violence as "very worrying".
