No TAV is the term used to identify a protest movement arose Italian in the early nineties, in which we can recognize groups of citizens united by critical in creating an infrastructure for high-capacity and high-speed rail (commonly known as TAV, "High Speed Train"), [1] taken as a symbol and an example of a considered inadequate management of common goods, public expenditure, land and politics. Railway lines in the center of the protests are disputed mainly because of the cost deemed excessive in relation to their usefulness, even in the face of environmental impacts and damage to human health in the places affected by construction.
The No Tav movement, for the particular importance of social issues addressed, to the extent of the phenomenon itself and the impact media has made in Italy an important element in the national policy framework, reaching a value similar to a brand [2] [3]. According to some activists, furthermore, the importance and the generality of the ideas and criticisms would "make negligible the original theme of the movement, which now rebels to use without moderation of taxpayers' money, land and the good faith of an entire country that still does not know what the truth is on high speed in Piedmont ", then going beyond the mere debate original Yes / no-TAV [1].
Recently, similar movements with different names have become popular in some European countries, in the border with Italy some movements have also adopted the acronym "No TAV" and the symbols connected (as in Savoy where the translation of TAV would TGV [4]).
