Abstract

Testimony of people who had participated in the manifesto against globalization, in Genoa, during the G 8 meeting, with the leaders of the world’s richest nations. The deponents, representatives of different generations, had told about the violence, the suffering and about the circumstances that involved the death of the young student Carlo Giuliani, in July 2001. It emphasizes the participation of parents and children in the manifestations − two generations; as well as the importance of the new technologies as a way to register the witnessed events. Thus, the use of cellular telephones, filming and cameras, and the event’s report, help in the reconstruction of what really happened in that city.
