This page includes the information that we gave to people before the protests in Genoa.

Demonstrations at the G8 summit will be going ahead later this month, involving tens of thousands of people from across Europe.

We are now getting a lot of detailed information about transport, the planned protests, and practicalities while you are in Genoa. There is a list of pages below on different subjects.

Negotiations are still going on about many of the details - we will amend these pages as we have new info, so check back every now and again.

There is further info on the website of the Genoa Social Forum.
