Caserio’s act triggered [[1894 anti-Italian riots|significant xenophobic anti-Italian riots in Lyon]] as soon as the public learned of the president’s death and the assassin’s identity.{{Sfn|Accoce|1998|p=139-142}}{{Sfn|Berthoud|1969|p=20-30}} On the evening of the attack, gathering places of Italians in Lyon were targeted, the consulate was stormed, and had to be protected by overwhelmed police forces due to the scale of ethnic violence.{{Sfn|Berthoud|1969|p=20-30}} In the following days, many Italian-owned properties and businesses in the city were looted.{{Sfn|Berthoud|1969|p=20-30}} The assassination caused profound shock among parts of the French population, who paid tribute to Carnot.{{Sfn|Berthoud|1969|p=20-30}} However, in the popular unrest following the attack, Italians rather than anarchists were disproportionately targeted.{{Sfn|Berthoud|1969|p=30-40}} Caserio’s act marked the final attack of the [[Ère des attentats]] (1892-1894) and remains one of its most notable.{{Sfn|Piarotas|2000|p=141}}

Lyon anarchists, wary of repression, largely avoided openly supporting the attack. Many were swiftly searched, arrested, and later released.{{Sfn|Berthoud|1969|p=30-40}}
