ITALIAN POLICE STAND GUARD AT A SECURITY BARRIER IN THE 'RED ZONE' OF GENOA'S OLD TOWN PRIOR TO THE G8 SUMMIT. Italian police stand guard at a security barrier in Genoa's old town, sealing the area off July 18, 2001 to protect a weekend Group of Eight summit against an onslaught by anti-globalisation demonstrators. With concrete barricades and steel mesh fences, the police closed off a key-shaped 'red zone' including the 13th century Ducal Palace where the G8 leaders will meet and the old port where most of them will sleep on board a luxury ocean liner.
