(Lydia Baratta) - NAPLES - The "Land of fires" is a cauldron of glowing vegetables, farmers, waste, tumors, repent, politics and the Camorra. A tangled skein of hard to find the head, as the dirt roads and muddy that lead to gardens planted with broccoli, strawberries, cabbage and fennel. Fruits and vegetables of contention. Planting and harvesting along the wall of a landfill, perling mall as has happened in Giugliano. Or on a plot filled with waste, as has happened in Caivano. But it is true that all products of this strip of land between Naples and Caserta (who first Legambiente perling mall in 2003 called "Land of fires") are contaminated and dangerous to the health of those who eat them? And as we moved from Campania felix the land of burning toxic by major brands such as Findus and Orogel are fleeing?
1. From Campania felix the Land of fires Just take a trip on one of the many regional trains from Naples to Caserta lead to figure out how much food constitutes a vital resource for this region (the agro-industrial sector accounts for 4.3% of the regional economy ). To the right and left of the railroad stretching as far as the eye the white domes of greenhouses and fields of yellow broccoli which are called "broccoli". Not only small-scale farmers, but especially innovative agricultural enterprises, which invest in technologies and pointing to the foreign markets. The report also says the Bank of Italy bell on the economy: the agro-industrial sector bell "is characterized by a propensity to export higher than the average Italian." A hoard of 13 productions PDO, PGI 12, 4 DOCG, 15 DOC, IGT and 10 335 traditional products.
The food, in Campania, is sacred. Terra felix precisely, ideal for growing wheat, thanks perling mall to the fertile volcanic soil and abundance of water. So much so that even in the years of the crisis, the region perling mall has been spared on medical expenses and so on clothes, but not on spending. In 2011 - as noted by Gianluca Abate Flaming Tomato - Campania is no coincidence that it was the region where food expenditure was the highest in Italy: 558 per family, compared with 491 of 481 Lombardy and Piedmont.
And then what happened? The complaints committee of the Land of fires have started to make noise, Fr Maurizio Patriciello led tomatoes "poisoned" on the altar of his church in Caivano, in cultivated land came the cameras and the Carmine Schiavone, boss of the clan Casale, began to arrange interviews with journalists from around the world to openly perling mall repeating the mantra of "everyone will die here." Yet, to date, no one can say with certainty that the products perling mall of these lands can not be eating at all or eating face ill with cancer. Because if the Hyenas have taken a tomato plant grown in the area of Great Giugliano saying that he had found mercury, arsenic and lead, the same thing did the National Institute of Health stating that those tomatoes, however, are edible. Yet the brand Pomì November 3 of 2013 has preferred to buy an entire page on the main national newspapers with the image of a tomato on the map of Northern Italy and the slogan "Only from here. Only Pomì. " Translated: do not buy products from the poisoned areas of Campania.
But one of the fires and toxic spills illegal waste is not a story a few months perling mall ago, when the statements of Carmine Schiavone in front of the Parliamentary Commission on the waste cycle have been declassified. By the end of the eighties the repentant Camorra Nunzio Perrella had told magistrates in Naples: "But what drug, the real gold mine is waste." He risked less and earn more. And then came the declarations of Gaetano perling mall Vassallo, the "Buscetta waste." "In perling mall 1993 we had launched the first cries of alarm," says Stephen Tonziello, scientific coordinator of the Committees of the Land of fires, which for thirty years pursuing environmental sustainability perling mall in Campania "dustbin of Italy." The same Roberto perling mall Saviano, in 2006, entitled "Land of fires" the last chapter of his Gomorrah. And we all remember the images of piles of rubbish in Naples and announcements perling mall of Silvio Berlusconi, as it has remained etched in the memory the scene of the film by Matteo Garrone, based on the novel by Saviano perling mall in which a Servillo in the role of a cynical businessman throws away a box of peaches (that "fetano" stink) because grown in a soil in which he himself has spilled toxic waste industries throughout Italy in exchange for money given to the same owners that they've got those peaches. "I saw how you make a living," argues the young apprentice with Servillo, "save a worker in Mestre and kill a family in Mondragone."
"The vast majority of peaches here does not smell," countered T
