Lazio's players wore t-shirts showing an image of Holocaust victim Anne Frank as a protest against antisemitism during their warm up prior to their Serie A football match against Bologna at the Renato-Dall'Ara stadium.

Emotions were still running high in Italy, days after Lazio fans posted antisemitic photos of Anne Frank in a Roma jersey, in the stands of the Stadio Olimpico.

The Italian football federation announced that there will be a minute's reflection on the Holocaust before every match and a passage read from The Diary of Anne Frank.

At the same time referees and captains will hand out copies of the diary and Italian Jewish writer Primo Levi's memoir 'If This Is A Man'.
