> as an Italian, given the dialectic and rhetoric in their statements

As if that holds any value, especially considering the rest of your comment, which completely ignores the rhetoric of that "designation".

That designation is toilet paper - the wording "violent Antifa cells" in the second sentence should be the wake up signal.

> they have root in the no-global movement, a protest group

There was/is no protest group called the no-global movement - you are using language the same way Trump & co. use the word antifa. And using language like Trump & co. is not a good look.

> that contributed to the violence at the Genova G8.

That was the black-bloc, maybe a few hundred or thousand actors within a protest of up to 300k people. I am leaving out the many controversies regarding the infiltrators in the black bloc and the manufactured "evidence" like planted molotov cocktails in the Diaz school.

And we all know who else contributed to the violence, but you conveniently left that out. Carlo Giuliani was killed by police. Same police that raided a school and charged peaceful protesters.
