Is Caserta ready to be a truly touristic city? It seems not judging from the pictures taken on the night between Saturday and Sunday when both visitors attracted by the concerts of Charles of Bourbon Square that nightlife users found themselves sharing spaces in the historic center. An increasingly dirtier centerdegraded and, once the coordinated control services of the territory were concluded, increasingly no man’s landThe double face of the capital has been perceivedor in transit between the concert area and the surrounding areasbetween Piazza Gramsci and the streets of the center, via Mazzini, via Mazzocchi, via Ferrante, via Sant’Agostino, via San Giovanni, via Vico and piazza Correra. Also thanks to the return from vacation, the night between Saturday and Sunday was particularly crowded.
The pictures taken show piles of rubbish of all kinds and then the stains of dirt, alcohol and liquor that ended up on the floor but also vomit of those with a weak stomach and urineas reported by the livability committee citizen who for years has been talking about invasions of doors and private spaces used as a public bathroom. Also Charles of Bourbon Squareat the end of the concert, showed the effects of the lack of extraordinary waste collectiona service that the Municipality could guarantee if it collected part of the money paid by the organizers of the kermesse A summer at Belvedere and which end up entirely in the coffers of the State propertyowner of the areas which are however managed and looked after at the expense of the administration municipal. After the trio of concerts of Gigi D’Alessioon stage tonight The Flight (weather alert permitting), tomorrow Antonello Venditti and Friday Umberto Tozzi. A problem for the councilor Maurice Of The Red (Lega) who already at the time of the presentation of the demonstration had questioned the then councillor in the council Emiliano Casale which had confirmed the total absence of earnings for the Common.
INSIGHTS
«This administration – Del Rosso explains – he often talks about tourist cities but building a tourist city is a complex process. Having a tourist city means above all having a city where all the services work while here it is public hygiene is lackingbut there are also limitations in decisions regarding mobility and parking areas, while there is no possibility of guaranteeing an increase in staff for the Local Police. The new layout of the arrived – he concludes – seems to be the bearer of a project disconnected from the reality of city».
Doubts about the management methods of Charles of Bourbon Square they also come from the majority with the councilor John Lombardi (Moderates-Together for Caserta): «If, as it appears, no revenue is expected for the Municipality but only management costs, we can talk about a very strange formula. We need to understand what the agreement with the State Property Agency prescribes to resolve this problem and clarify the situation.. Despite the problems and inconveniences reported – he continues – the events organised are bringing positive effects to the city, we must concentrate on a rapid closure of the disaster so that we can strengthen the organic from the Local Police and also respond to residents’ requests for greater safety and more controls to limit the excesses of bad nightlife».
The safety
The residents themselves are ready to launch a new signal against the riots and chaos of the Caserta nights. A new sleepless night for them, the one between Saturday and SundayThe most undisciplined places have left their doors open until 5.30 in the morning contrary to all the regulations approved by the Municipality. Loud music was a constant throughout the night. Confirming itself as one of the most difficult areas of the city, meanwhile, is Piazza Correra where, on Wednesday at 18.30i residents and the traders have arranged to meet for a public meeting to discuss the problems of degradation and liveability and to seek a solution to sensitize the institutions to a greater control.
«They live a absurd situationwith a square that during the day sees the excesses of the homeless and at night those of the moved. Correra Square – explains Rose of Costanzopresident of the city livability committee – is now a square that suffers from the degradation and is at risk drug dealing».
