March to military airport at Gioia del Colle, Italy, 5 April 2003
The march started around 17:30 in Piazza Plebiscito, Gioia del Colle (16°56' East, 40°48' North), Puglia, Italy (population approx 26,000). It went twice around the town and then to the nearby military airport. There was no attempt at civil disobedience (except for a brief sit-down in an Esso petrol station that was already closed). The marchers used a road along the perimeter of the base to reach the entrance. The police closed this road to other traffic.
Represented on the march, with their standards, were the following local authorities:
- Comune di Gioia di Colle (population 26,000)
- Comune di Santeramo in Colle (population 24,000)
- Comune di Alberobello (population 11,000)
