Inevitably, Rome's Prefect of Police maintains that disorders were caused by English supporters in the first place. I didn't watch the match, but for what I've seen on TV, Italian cops were a bit too, as you said, heavy-handed.
Take also into account that some Man U fans had wandered in the city all morning drinking beer.
