The renowned jewelers' stores on the Ponte Vecchio, the three-arch bridge which is one of the city's landmarks, have kept their ancient-looking wood shutters down for days. <BR> <BR>After weeks of debate over whether to allow the anti-globalization meeting, Premier Silvio Berlusconi's government gave approval, but imposed a strict security plan. <BR> <BR>The air space above the city has been closed to private aircraft. The Schengen Treaty _ which normally allows for no border controls when travelers go from country to country in the 15-nation grouping _ has also been suspended. <BR> <BR>The demonstration Saturday was seen as a major test for Italian police, still reeling from last year's Group of Eight summit in Genoa, where one protester was shot dead by a Carabinieri paramilitary officer and hundreds were wounded during violent clashes in the streets. <BR> <BR>Images of wrecked banks, gas stations and stores in Genoa are still vivid for many Italians. <BR> <BR>Many feared a repeat of that violence in Florence, but the anti-globalization gathering has been peaceful so far, with no incidents reported and a carnival atmosphere at a 16th century fortress in the northwestern part of the city which has served as the headquarters for the gathering, with food stands, exhibits and street theater sidelining the dozens of discussions held inside. <BR> <BR>Even a small anti-war demonstration in front of a U.S. military base Wednesday, which had sparked public security concerns, took place without a hitch. <BR> <BR>The anti-globalization gathering, billed as the European Social Forum, is the European branch of the World Social Forum which meets annually in Porto Alegre, Brazil. It has drawn to Florence some 35,000 delegates from hundreds of associations. <BR> <BR>The anti-globalization movement started at the 1999 World Trade Organization summit in Seattle. For over two years, anti-globalization protests have been held at virtually every international summit around the globe. <BR> <BR>According to some analysts, the movement reached its peak at the Genoa summit, but has lost momentum since the Sept. 11 attacks. <BR> <BR> <BR>Links to photos on Italia Indymedia <BR><A HREF="http://italy.indymedia.org/news/2002/11/106817.php">http://italy.indymedia.org/news/2002/11/106817.php</A> <BR> <BR>BBC article: <BR><A HREF="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/2429123.stm">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/2429123.stm</A> <BR> <BR> <BR>

The renowned jewelers' stores on the Ponte Vecchio, the three-arch bridge which is one of the city's landmarks, have kept their ancient-looking wood shutters down for days.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />After weeks of debate over whether to allow the anti-globalization meeting, Premier Silvio Berlusconi's government gave approval, but imposed a strict security plan.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />The air space above the city has been closed to private aircraft. The Schengen Treaty _ which normally allows for no border controls when travelers go from country to country in the 15-nation grouping _ has also been suspended.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />The demonstration Saturday was seen as a major test for Italian police, still reeling from last year's Group of Eight summit in Genoa, where one protester was shot dead by a Carabinieri paramilitary officer and hundreds were wounded during violent clashes in the streets.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Images of wrecked banks, gas stations and stores in Genoa are still vivid for many Italians.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Many feared a repeat of that violence in Florence, but the anti-globalization gathering has been peaceful so far, with no incidents reported and a carnival atmosphere at a 16th century fortress in the northwestern part of the city which has served as the headquarters for the gathering, with food stands, exhibits and street theater sidelining the dozens of discussions held inside.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Even a small anti-war demonstration in front of a U.S. military base Wednesday, which had sparked public security concerns, took place without a hitch.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />The anti-globalization gathering, billed as the European Social Forum, is the European branch of the World Social Forum which meets annually in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
