STORYLINE:

Protests involving civic associations, trade unions, environmentalists and local residents were held Friday against the Group of Seven (G7) summit being held in Italy's Borgo Egnazia.

The demonstrators highlighted G7's failure to address social justice, protect civil rights and maintain global peace.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Italian): ZOE CARAMIA, Italian student
"We decided to write and highlight the huge difference between those who speak in the G7 and us as a member of the global population. Because all of their intentions are given to a small percentage of people who are already well off without going to consider the concerns of the other (nearly) 8 billion people. Their concerns include hunger, education, war and peace, and exploitation in the workplace."

SOUNDBITE 2 (Italian): DI NICOLA RENATO, Local resident
"I want to attend this event to express our determination to drive change, fueled by our frustration. Many things remain stagnant because the G7 leaders talk without taking meaningful action."
