Genoa, 19 July (LaPresse) – “One image that always comes back to me is the night of 21 July when I was the first to enter the Diaz school. I will never forget what I saw: blood everywhere – on the floor, on the walls, on the radiators, on the steps. A truly, truly tragic situation. I feel sick every time I have to think back on those moments. It was clear then that we were completely on our own, that on that night the rule of law had been abolished.” Vittorio Agnoletto, spokesperson for the Genoa Social Forum in 2001, made these remarks to LaPresse, recalling the days of the G8 summit in Genoa, the street violence and the police raid on the Diaz school. Agnoletto is in Genoa, where he took part in the ‘No Kings Italy’ conference at the Palazzo Ducale and in the events taking place in the city until 21 July to mark the 25th anniversary of the 2001 Genoa protests.
