The protests at the historic Italian sites were two of many demonstrations Thursday in many Italian cities, the ANSA news agency reported.
Students are unhappy that the reforms could leave thousands of teachers out of work, the agency said.
* Up to 50,000 students marched through the capital in a concerted attempt to "paralyse" the city, dubbed "Block Everything Day," organisers said.
According to the Italian Students' Union (UDS), "more than 400,000 students are rallying throughout Italy".
Police in riot gear blocked all entrances to the Chamber of Deputies as lawmakers voted on the reforms and officers were forced to redirect traffic as the city centre was brought to a standstill in several areas.
