Some 100 protesters demonstrating
against a visit by center-left Premier Matteo Renzi blocked off
the Naples seafront Wednesday as clashes continued with police.
The protesters threw stones and glass bottles and police
responded with tear gas and water cannon. Renzi is set to chair
a steering committee on the environmental clean-up and revamp of
a huge former steel plant site at Bagnoli later in the day in
the southern city, where authorities have launched a massive
security operation and sealed sewers and garbage bins.
