A citizen sent Francesco Emilio Borrelli, a member of the Green Left Alliance, a photo showing an open grave, with a fallen tombstone left on the ground, right at the entrance to the Poggioreale cemetery.

The area around the gravestone was clumsily cordoned off with red and white tape, which was also tied to a garbage can. "I often visit the Poggioreale cemetery, and it's not the first time I've found myself in front of an open grave," said Ciro, who reported the incident to Deputy Borrelli.

"Usually this happens in the less frequented areas of the cemetery, but this time the incident is plain for all to see, just 50 meters from the entrance.

When I saw the open burial niche, there were several people next to me, equally disgusted by what had happened, including children. The absurd thing is that the burial niche is located right on the main avenue, the one everyone walks along entering from Via del Riposo to reach the graves of their loved ones,” Ciro concluded.

“What happened is an outrage. I have long been denouncing the state of degradation and abandonment of the Poggioreale cemetery. A serious and decisive intervention by the Municipality of Naples is needed to clean up the entire area, free it from the crime and illegal parking attendants that plague it, and invest to give the cemetery the decorum it deserves. Those who go to Poggioreale to say goodbye to their loved ones cannot find themselves faced with similar scenes. The burial niche should be repaired as soon as possible and if anyone was negligent, they should be identified and punished”.

With these words Francesco Emilio Borrelli, deputy of the Green Left Alliance, commented on what was reported at the Poggioreale cemetery.
