‘Liberate’ Naples from rubbish crisis, Sofia Loren pleads
Thursday, July 17th, 2008
Sofia Loren was recently at the center of a cry for the government to clean up her native city of Naples.
In an open letter in late June 2008 Sofia asked that Silvio Berlusconi and his government follow through on their promise to clean up the trash problem in Naples and surrounding cities. Berlusconi was vowed to do so within three years, but that time frame must not be enough for Loren.
Naples has been plagued with a trash problem since at least 1994, having endured a constantly renewing ‘waste disposal state of emergency’ every year since then. Investigations are underway to curtail the garbage pileup and clear up the companies responsible for sanitation concerns.
