Naples, Italy
This is something the brochures don't mention: How about having to
wade through piles of festering filth and trash? In Naples and the
surrounding Campania region, the waste disposal industry is Mafia run.
The city goes through cycles when it is literally drowning in garbage.
Things really came to a head when collectors stopped picking up the
trash in Naples on December 21, 2007,... and didn't come back until
early to mid-January 2008! Residents were surrounded by heaping mounds
of moldering trash, and many took to burning the piles, which created
a toxic hazard and an overwhelming stench.

[snipped garbage about garbage in Naples]

No, that was just Sheldon's compost pile. It didn't matter how many
times he was told, he kept dumping the bodies of his ex's and in-laws in
there.

That's a violation of zoning ordinances.

I was in Naples two weeks ago. It was not terribly clean, but standard
for a large city. No bad smells.

BTW, the pizza in New Jersey is way better than the pizza in Italy.

I talked to my friend that still lives there & the garbage situation
isn't solved. I was the writer of the article posted on GloboSapians-
mentioned above. The crisis actually started in the summer of 2006.
Now, the whole region is dealing with water contamination along with
garbage & the Mafia. I lived there for 3 years starting in November
2004. We loved the region we lived in, in the beginning... now Casal
has become a living nightmare for those living there! Please read this

I guess the tourists don't see that part of it. I wasn't there very long.

I did spend 5 days in Palermo and it was quite an experience.
