Some 10,000 demostators with banners and flags printed with “NO TAV” attend a protest against the high-speed train tunnel project in Susa on December 6, 2008. The site has been chosen to cut a 53-kilometer cross-border train tunnel into France, angering people living in the region who question the usefulness, cost and environmental consequences of the project.
