Shopkeepers in the small
Sicilian coastal town of Giardini Naxos, just south of Taormina
where the G7 Summit will be held on Friday and Saturday, are
taking action to protect their shopfronts from potential clashes
at a G7 protest march scheduled there Saturday afternoon.
Shop doors and windows are being boarded up or covered with
metal bars for fear of violent clashes and potential damage.
The town's mayor has taken measures in light of the protest,
including ordering schools and offices closed on Saturday.
