VNT05. Ventimiglia (Italy), 20/06/2015.- People carry a banner reading 'No Frontiers No borders' as migrants and locals protest at the Franco-Italian border in Ventimiglia, Italy, 20 June 2015.

They have staged protests, with about 100 of them spending the night camped out on the rocky seafront near the French border and another 200 finding shelter in the Ventimiglia train station.
