The area around Naples is often linked to organised crime, indeed, the waste sector is a favoured sector for criminals operating under the radar of the law
However, the law does sometimes make inroads, and in Casapasenna, an town in Caserta, land confiscated from the Camorra has been revitalised with the creation of a new playing field for young people.
The new soccer field with recycled rubber was made possible thanks to the Campania Region, with the support of the Prefecto Romano, in charge of the government for combating the phenomenon of waste fires in Campania, Ecopneus, in collaboration with Agrorinasce and the Municipal Administration of Casapesenna.
A new sports area has been created from a place of illegality has become accessible and for everyone’s benefit.
