Simone Tulumello,

Giù le mani dalla Val di Susa!', 'Off the hands from Val di Susa!': thus claimed, in 1991, the first slogan of the No TAV (short for Treno ad Alta Velocità) movement against the high-speed railway Lyon-Turin (Griseri 2005). 1 Originally a local movement concerned with the environmental effects of the project -and particularly of the 57 kilometers long tunnel below the Alps -over the Italian valley, the No TAV has in time become a nation-wide movement, with a crucial role being played by activists and groups from near Turin, concerned with national and global models of development.Three decades later, while only a reconnaissance gallery has been completed, the No TAV is one of the most contentious, longest-standing active conflicts in Italy, and definitely Europe.
