 In Italy, Zanotelli became a point of reference for the new global movement and the Lilliput Net.He took part in the organization and management of the European Social forum in Florence, 6-10 November 2002.This forum confirmed the supremacy of the non-violent policy of the movement on a relatively small minority which (after the violence exploded during the Genoa G8 meeting in July 2001) was tempted to stand for a more violent manifestation of dissent.
