Pompei. It is said that good music is no longer appreciated. Yet there are those who “love” it so much that they steal unattended instruments.
It happened in Pompeii where a girl, Meylin, who studies at the Naples Conservatory, had her double bass stolen from her car.
“I was coming back from some rehearsals in Caserta when I decided to stop for a quick bite to eat in a pizzeria in Pompei. I parked the car not far away and when I returned the bitter surprise: my double bass, worth 3 thousand euros, was gone. I would bet that they had targeted me.
They opened the case, took only the double bass and left all the documents and the bow. For the next lessons they will lend me one but then I will have to buy it again.” - explains Meylin to the Regional Councilor of Europa Verde Francesco Emilio Borrelli.
“Speechless. Citizens are deprived of possessions that criminals take possession of, often with violence. We will help the girl recover her precious instrument. Anyone with information can contact: .

If, however, he does not get his hands on it again, then we will start a fundraiser,” Borrelli said together with La Radiazza radio host Gianni Simioli.
