On June 1, 2001, violent protests erupted during the G8 Summit in Genoa, Italy, as thousands of anti-globalization demonstrators clashed with police. The protests, which aimed to highlight issues such as economic inequality, corporate power, and environmental destruction, turned chaotic when authorities used force to suppress the crowds. One protester, Carlo Giuliani, was killed by police during the riots. The violent confrontations led to widespread damage, and hundreds were injured. The events raised significant debate about police tactics and the role of global institutions in shaping policy.
