The reef is a dustbin

Catania. There are seasons for the incessant occurrence of certain events. There are no special rituals or predispositions that everything is repeated every year. The Lungomare di Ognina, Piazza Nettuno and the cliffs along the city Etnea eastern area is decorated with an undefined quantity of waste. Rubbish short. Bags, paper, organic waste, plastic scattered everywhere at the sight and company of beautiful bathers and bystanders that we live together hand in hand without the slightest modesty and without any complaints despite the show is the most depressing. "The summer is ending ..." sang a mo 'of a blockbuster scanzonato Italian duo of the 80s, and it is time budgets for the new administration intent to observe a problem, a "dear" old habit that never die and fight the enemy of all time: poor education for the public good. Not enough to justify the uncivilized behavior of the few in the area of bin or trash cans and the state of abandonment that is experiencing Piazza Nettuno. The complaints of tourists and not only spectators incredulous that the scene was submitted to them before, during the warmer season, can not and must not remain unheeded. Testimonials hard and that there are significant during the warmer months, "Catania like to live nell'immondizia," says a pair of middle-of Modena. "It is not a spectacle that makes us justice," stressed a couple of boys Catania, themselves frequent the place. Words that should lead to reflection rather than raise one more patriotism autonomy that has always characterized Sicilians and their rulers, useful only to increasingly isolating the region from the rest of Europe. E 'in the eyes of all the state of the cliff despite a number occasions, a group of volunteers has been busy of waste collection and has posted a warning of cloth that read the following written, "the cliff is not a dustbin' has repeated the massacre for the umpteenth time. And here you can see in a few moments, the beauty of nature mixed with the bright colors of a distant pop-art created dall'immondizia where you paddle through the holiday, then basking in the sun and get some purifying bath.
