14th October. Italy. Activists from the Rainbow Warrior occupied the Prezioso offshore oil rig for 34 hours. The activists unfurl a 120 meter square banner depicting the Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, with a satirical message promising Piu Trivelle per Tutti (More Offshore Drilling For Everybody) and Greenpeace's demand to Stop Fossil Go Renewable. Greenpeace is protesting against an Italian governmental decree that offers incentives for offshore drilling. The rig is operated by the Italian oil company ENI in the Sicilian Channel.
