Since the '80s a union of interests between the Camorra (an organized crime group active mainly in Naples and the surrounding region of Campania), the industrialists and the Neapolitan and Campania political class has poisoned this part of Italy, which is amongst the most beautiful areas in the country. The blogger, Enzo Ciacco, writes on lettera43.it: I territori colpiti dai veleni di camorra sono quelli tra le province di Napoli e Caserta L’area è compresa tra i comuni di Qualiano A firmare il Patto per la Terra dei fuochi sono stati ben 57 comuni tra Napoli e Caserta Ma la verità è che nessuno sa quanti e dove siano i rifiuti tossici sepolti nel corso degli anni nell’area The areas affected by the Camorra's toxic waste are those between the provinces of Naples and Caserta 57 municipalities between Naples and Caserta signed the Land of Fires Pact on July 11 But the truth is that no one knows in how many places and where the toxic waste has been buried in the area over the years has found more than 2,000 contaminated sites Enrico Ferdinandi quotes the reformed mafioso, Carmine Schiavone's 1997 declarations made in front of the parliamentary committee on Ecomafias and whose confessions brought down the Casalesi clan Avevamo creato un sistema di tipo militare con ragazzi incensurati muniti di regolare porto d’armi che giravano in macchina venivano scaricati di notte e le pale meccaniche vi spargevano sopra del terreno Ma talvolta la spazzatura finiva anche a 20 o a 30 metri di profondità Nei verbali si può apprendere che alcuni rifiuti radioattivi per la precisione fanghi nucleari provenienti dalla Germania: «dovrebbero trovarsi in un terreno sul quale ci sono le bufale e su cui non cresce più erba» with boys with no criminal records and a valid firearms license in the car police and finance police uniforms and signalling disks was unloaded at night and the bulldozers would cover it with earth But sometimes the rubbish ended up 20 or 30 metres deep The records show that some radioactive waste from Germany: “should be in a field where there are buffaloes and where the grass does not grow“ The effects on health, above all, are disastrous. The website laretenonperdona.it indicates the illnesses that the population is suffering from: In questi territori sono stati riscontrati picchi di patologie quali tumori allo stomaco alla pleura e alla vescica nonché malformazioni e difetti congeniti.  In these areas rates of disease increased such as stomach pleura and bladder cancers as well as malformations and birth defects Quoting Gaetano Rivezzi, president of the Italian section of the International Society of Doctors for the Environment (ISDE) [en] in Campania, the website liberainformazione.org published the following:  … in alcuni distretti c’è stato un aumento del 300% di queste malattie in pochissimi anni L’esempio più eclatante è il distretto di Frattamaggiore 5 comuni con un bacino di 100 mila abitanti: qui i medici hanno registrato 136 casi nel 2008 diventati 420 nel 2012 Poi ci sono i numeri del distretto di Casalnuovo – precisa – qui i codici 048 … in some areas there was a 300% increase in these diseases in just a few years The most striking example is of the district of Frattamaggiore containing 5 municipalities with a catchment area of 100,000 inhabitants: here doctors registered 136 cases in 2008 which rose to 420 in 2012 Then there are the figures of the Casalnuovo district – he adds – here the 048 codes have risen from 384 to 622 in 5 years.  Map of the “terra dei fuochi” taken from “laretenonperdona.it” Annalisa Tancredi on ambientequotidiano.it, analyses the consequences of this pollution sono ancora oggi coltivati dai contadini che producono verdure ed ortaggi di ogni genere – come pomodori e li rivendono nei mercati ad aziende multinazionali per la produzione di passate di pomodori e minestroni surgelati che vengono rivendute non solo in tutta Italia ad essere contaminati non sono solo i terreni e le falde acquifere ma anche gli allevamenti che mangiano e bevono i prodotti di questa terra. Un ex allevatore ha denunciato la morte di 2.700 su 3.000 capi di bestiame a causa di malattie deperimento e malformazioni alla nascita: ha raccontato di veri e propri mostri delle malformazioni genetiche come agnelli con due teste o con la coda sullo stomaco are still cultivated by farmers who produce all kinds of vegetables and pulses such as tomatoes and sell them on to markets and multinational companies who produce pasta sauces and frozen soups that are sold not only in Italy but also in Europe and the rest of the world… not only the land and groundwater have been contaminated but also the livestock that eats and drinks this land's produce. A former farmer has reported the deaths of 2,700 out of 3,000 head of cattle due to disease decay and birth defects: he told of real monsters with birth defects like lambs with two heads or with a tail coming out of their stomach Faced with this situation, the inhabitants of the infected areas have many concerns. In a post Giuliana Caso comments on the people's anger and asks herself: Photo from the TV investigation by the programme ‘Le Iene’, but if they do not explain clearly we risk reducing all of Campania to the Terra dei Fuochi.

The website lettera43.it quotes his letter: “IL GRIDO DELLE MADRI”. Nella sua lettera Napolitano ha ricordato “il grido accorato delle madri dei bambini colpiti da gravi patologie tumorali ricondotte al criminale inquinamento dei vostri territori della Campania” rinnovando “la mia intima partecipazione al loro dolore confidando che non abbandonino la fiducia nell'impegno delle istituzioni reso più coeso e credibile anche grazie alla partecipazione attiva della rete di comitati e singoli cittadini che non si contentano di denunciare i crimini subiti le operazioni di monitoraggio e di bonifica dei siti”.  Napolitano noted “the anguished cry of the mothers of children with serious tumours linked to criminal pollution of areas of Campania [renewing] my intimate involvement with their grief trusting that they do not abandon their trust in the commitment of the institutions made more cohesive and believable thanks to the active participation of the network of committees and individuals who are not content with only denouncing the crimes suffered but support monitoring operations and site decontamination with their initiatives.” “Just think, this used to all be Campania” comic strip about the fires in the Terra dei Fuochi by Cecigian gengiscano14 GENNAIO 2014 | 18.49 “Manderemo l'esercito per contrastare le ecomafie” che i militari se vedono sversamenti abusivi di sostanze nel terreno possono sparare Che se vedono gente appiccare fuochi all'immondizia possono arrestarli gengiscano14 JANUARY 2014 | 18.49 “We'll send the army to counter the eco-mafia” that if the military see people illegally dumping substances in the ground they can shoot That if they see people set fire to garbage they can arrest them If that's not what they are here for then leave them in the barracks Lettore_519922815 GENNAIO 2014 | 13.25 Meglio impiegare questi soldi per carabinieri e polizia e corpo forestale che hanno compiti investigativi Servivano venti anni fa quando gli sversamenti erano in atto cosa che può avvenire con indagini per capire chi ha interesse e chi è l'autore dei roghi tossici Lettore_519922815 JANUARY 2014 | 13.25 It would be better to use this money for the Carabinieri and the police and the forest rangers who have investigative duties We needed them twenty years ago when the dumping was taking place which can be done with investigations to find out who is to gain and who is creating the toxic fires ERROR: SECURITY TIMEOUT - Please copy your message to a backup location Global Voices stands out as one of the earliest and strongest examples of how media committed to building community and defending human rights can positively influence how people experience events happening beyond their own communities and national borders Please consider making a donation to help us continue this work Donate now http://popeleo13.com/pope/category/a-passionate-appeal-to-the-italian-people/ […] stretching between Naples and Caserta and including around fifty villages is known as the “Land of Fires” due to consistent illegal burnings of the dumps to make room for more hazardous waste Authors, please log in » Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Stay up to date about Global Voices and our mission.
