Rubbishy Naples

The garbage problem in Naples, literally, smoulders on. Piles of waste still line the streets, and this burning issue is still very much alight, despite the appointment of a bigwig to resolve the problem.

Naples is quite an unruly city, even Italians joke about it, although I have to say that I know a few from down that way and they are really nice people. I suppose you could compare Naples to Liverpool in the UK – both places are by the sea and both are populated by likeable scallys.

Will the rubbish issue be sorted out? Yes, but don’t hold your breath (unless you are down in Naples at the moment, that is.).
