Thousands of people took to the streets of Naples, Thursday, in protest against the G20 Environment Summit taking place at the city centre's Royal Palace.

The march included activists from Extinction Rebellion, Avaaz, main Italian Unions, Greenpeace, Fridays for Future and Stop Biocidio.

"It is a provocation to see 20 ministers occupying our city, the Royal Palace, one of the symbols of this city, without providing solutions. We want solutions. We don't want a catwalk and pretty events," said Raniero Maddona, a Stop Biocidio activist.

Protesters could also be seen throwing water balloons at the police protecting the 'red zone' of the city.

Ministers of the 20 most powerful countries in the world are meeting in Naples between 22 and 23 of July to discuss the environment, climate and energy.
