“You can’t extinguish hope. What the Rione Sanita’ represents today for Naples, but for Italy as a whole, is a real model of development, an experience of redemption, through culture, the valorization of art, which can be felt everywhere in the Rione Sanita’, from the noble palaces to the churches, to the catacombs, to the thousand-year history of bishops and royals. It is through culture and art that work has been created and therefore opportunities, an alternative to the street, to the blackmail of crime”. This is what we read in a note released by the Metropolitan Chamber of Labor of Naples. “The La Paranza Cooperative, in which about 50 young people work who have bet on their desire to make it – underlines the Cgil – has changed the destiny of this neighborhood that was synonymous with illegality, degradation, isolation, ignorance. Thanks to them and many other associations, architects of this miracle, together with the parish priest Don Antonio Loffredo, the Rione Sanita' has become the most emblematic neighborhood of rebirth and redemption, so much so that it is indicated as an example to be inspired by". "As Cgil of Naples - concludes the note - we trust that the solutions that will be identified will not interrupt this experience not only for the protection of jobs, but also for the life of the neighborhood itself, which has responded to the new cultural, social and economic activities with a model of valorization of the territory that is studied and taken as an example in every part of the world".
