If even when the streets are "in order" there is no shortage of degradation and waste, what happens at the end of the day when the illegal markets on Corso Garibaldi dismantle their stalls? A motorist documented the situation in a video.
The video, sent to the Green-Sinister Alliance MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli, shows a scenario reminiscent of the slums of Southeast Asia, with streets filled with waste, cardboard, rags and abandoned objects.
During the day, however, citizens and tourists find themselves zigzagging along the sidewalks to avoid the numerous tarps hanging out to display counterfeit goods or goods salvaged from used clothing bins.

"We're no longer even surprised. This is the path we've set out on, and if we continue to pretend nothing's happening, it will only get worse," Borrelli comments. "The point is very simple: when a phenomenon is ignored or even tolerated and fueled, it grows until it becomes unmanageable.
Just to give an example, violence among very young people is certainly not something that was born today, but it is a discussion that was born decades ago and has always been tolerated. At first, only 'beatings' were used, then knives were used and now guns. It is the evolution (involution) of those phenomena that are not fought. It will also happen with the garbage markets. It is already happening.”

I agree, but I think it is difficult to solve the problem of illegal markets. It is not enough to just say to stop them.
What you write is interesting but I don't understand why nothing is done to stop this situation. The streets should be clean and safe for everyone, even tourists.
