ResumoIn the space of little over a month, between 31 October and 6 December 2005, the proposed Turin-Lyon high-speed train (Treno Alta Velocità, or TAV) line became a national news story following the dramatic protests that marked initial attempts to open exploratory survey sites. On 31 October, the “Battle of Rocciamelone” took place between police and demonstrators who were blocking access to the Seghino site, where drilling was due to commence. In the ensuing days, protests were held across the valley, culminating on 16 November in a general strike and “the march of the 80,000” from Bussoleno to Susa. On 30 November and 1 December, protestors gathered at Venaus—where another, far more important construction site for a long exploratory tunnel was planned—and set up a camp, which was then dismantled by police during the night of 5–6 December.
