:: Naples Trash Emergency ::

View in Original Size

This is a photographic report about the sad emergency that Naples and all the region Campania is living. This is the only region of Italy that has the problem of trash disposal. Countryside dumps are completely full with mountains of stocked and packed "trash balls" laying undispached, garbage collectors' truck are unable to pick up all the litters from the street because, once they've done it, they have to face road blocks made by that people living near dumps, expecially those dumps that are going to be opened again due to this emergency; bitter conflicts between citizens and police has taken place along the street that lead to dumps.
Region Campania has only one trash incinerator and when neither half of the construction was completed, everything was blocked by neighborhood inhabitants supported by some politic parties, whose leader is now the Italian Environment Minister, a clownish situation. The incinerator is still on the way to be built on but due to this tragic situation tworks restarted; hopefully it will be operating in few months.
The President of Regional Committee, Antonio Bassolino, has been informed of this situation since 14 years when he was Major of Naples at that time. Now he is under investigation.
It's useless to say that all over these happenings there's the big hand of Camorra, Naples' mafia.
