From Turin to Naples, from Rome to Lamezia, Italy is full of illegal settlements, degradation and delinquency. Yet the municipalities have effective tools and in Piedmont apply them. Meanwhile, in via Selvanesco it is yellow: the baby killers disappear and then reappear
A journey into the nightmare fields. Indoor neighborhoods occupied by people who “do not respect the rules” and who “live in conditions even of poor hygiene”. There are numerous illegal and irregular rom fields scattered throughout the peninsula. They are divided between “formal and” informal “settlements. The former are those designed to accommodate the Roma communities, which can be entrusted and managed by public or private bodies. The latter are the abusive ones.
But, often, in both living conditions they are “shameful” and the behaviors of nomadic populations sometimes put the safety of all citizens at risk. Garbage everywhere, abusive landfills and fire cars: this is the photograph taken in the Roma camp in via Selvanesco near via Saponaro where it was overwhelmed Cecilia de Astisthe pensioner killed by the car led by a boy of just eleven years old who lived in that nomad camp. But that photograph is the same as what can be taken in the various Roma fields scattered in Italy where, often, episodes of violence and attacks are often reported.
One of the formal settlements among the largest in Italy, in Milan, is precisely that of the Gratosoglio district: it arose in 1999 under the junta Albertini And it houses about 75 families, over 250 people, a third of which are minors. In the fashion capital there are other formal fields including those in via Chiesa Rossa which welcomes 260 people, in via Negrotto, which welcomes 103 and then the field of via Impastato, in Rogoredo, which hosts about 37 people. In Milan, from 2011 onwards, different closed were closed and the reclamation of those places has always been arranged for reasons related to safety and hygiene standards.
In Turin, the map of the “nightmare” fields is no different: there are formal ones in via dell’Astandola (146 residents) and the one in via Lega which houses about 61 nomads; Finally the one in progress Soviet Union (94 Roma). Then there are the informal ones that are those of the Barrier of Milan; Regio Park; Boat; Bertolla. In addition to these slums, there were several illegal occupations of houses and disorder situations created by “abusive”. In Pistoia, however, there are two formal settlements: in via Ciliegiole Brusigliano (71 residents) and Pontelungo (70 residents). One of the most critical situations is that of Campania. There are several formal rom camps. Specifically, there are that of Secondigliano with 300 residents; that of via del Ripos 123 residents and that of Cupa Perillo (200 residents). Then, that of Salicelle (30 residents) are in Afragola; in Casoria: Cantariello with 90 residents); In Caivano 53 ROMs are hosted in via delle Cinque Vie.
Over 150 are the nomads of the Giugliano camp. But those in which there are multiple episodes of violence and illegality are the abusive Roma fields in different areas of Naples: three in the Gianturco area, five in the bar area and two in Pianura. Another alarming situation is that of the Baraccopoli in Giugliano, always in Campania: Circumvallazione Qualiano (50 residents) and via Carrafiello (385 residents). But in Naples one of the most worrying phenomena is also the presence of the Roma in the land taken for rent as inhabitants of the bass, in particular fork and to the Sanità district. They also often occupy public residential buildings.
According to recent dossier in Rome, for example, the active Roma camps are: Salviati (430 residents); Candoni, in the Magliana district (540 residents); in Castel Romano, on the Via Pontina, on the border with Pomezia, (370 residents); Then Gordiani and salon both with about 220 residents. Critical situations are recorded in the Roman slums: San Basilio (70 residents); Travertine arch (46 residents). The Roma field of Scordovillo who is located in Lamezia Terme, Calabria, where episodes of violence and crime are often recorded, ended up several times. In the field there are over 416 nomads. Scordovillo’s slum borders on the “John Paul II” hospital from which it is separated from a railway embankment. It is a municipal public area. Here, the reclamation should start from next September. The Scordovillo camp has often also been the subject of controversy and political battles after numerous news episodes that have put citizens’ safety at risk and also of health personnel in service at the hospital. To stay in Calabria, there are other Roma insertions. In Cosenza: an informal settlement and a reception center (about 620 ROMs). Another settlement in Gioia Tauro with about 60 Roma appearances in via Asmara. In Puglia, the picture is 230 nomads in Panareo (Lecce); 250 in Borgo Arpinova (Foggia) and 125 in Japigia in Bari.
