In Anacapri, 22 goats were found dead, perhaps from poisoning, on the path that leads from Cetrella goes down the valley.
The goats lived on the tops of the Mount Solaro di Capri: they had been at the centre of a controversy for some time by those who were asking for them to be removed from the island and moved to a zoological center, because by climbing up the sides of the mountain they caused the danger of falling rocks and some invaded the paths that are found along the slope of the mountain.
La goat symbol of the island and in particular of Anacapri where it has lived undisturbed for centuries, it is even the symbol imprinted in the coat of arms of the municipality of Anacapri. And the director Mario Martone filmed various scenes on the slopes of the rocks with the goats climbing up the slopes of the rocks of Capri, in the famous film 'Capri Revolution'.
The news spread quickly throughout the island and investigations were immediately launched by the Municipal police of Anacapri with the collaboration of ASL staff Napoli 1.
Tomorrow, to recover the remains of the goats, a truck will arrive to transport them to the mainland and proceed with the investigations that caused their death: the hypothesis of thepoisoning.
