Naples – After a vile act of vandalism and the theft of sandwiches about ten days ago, Luca's Pub, a historic venue in the Vomero neighborhood, decided to respond with a gesture as symbolic as it is tasty: the creation of the "Panino del Cialtrone."
An initiative that combines typical Neapolitan irony with the fight against small and large-scale illegalities, inspired by the commitment of Avs MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli, who has long been at the forefront of denouncing these incidents.
The sandwich, already featured in a viral video, was reported by numerous citizens to Borrelli himself, who expressed his full support for the initiative.
"I find it an intelligent and effective idea – commented the parliamentarian – in support of the campaign against widespread crime and in defense of the territory, which I have been carrying out for years.

The incident of vandalism and theft at the pub is unfortunately not an isolated case. Borrelli emphasized that reports of predatory crimes are constantly increasing, a sign of an increasingly unscrupulous and aggressive criminality.
"These crimes, while involving thefts of little economic value, cause enormous damage to businesses," he added. "To combat this trend, we need everyone's mobilization, in addition to the commitment of law enforcement. We like initiatives like this because they combine Neapolitan irony with the desire to never give up, demonstrating that honest citizens will never back down in the face of crime."
The "Panino Cialtrone" (Cialtrone Sandwich) is not only a symbol of resistance, but also an invitation to the community to support local businesses affected by illegal acts. With its widespread use on social media and the support of figures like Borrelli, Luca's Pub transformed an unpleasant episode into an opportunity to reiterate a clear message: Naples will not surrender.
Meanwhile, the restaurant continues to see growing attendance, with customers eager to try the sandwich that has become a symbol of the fight against crime. A way to say, once again, that the best response to violence is solidarity and the desire to start over.

It's nice to see how Luca's Pub reacted to an act of vandalism, but I wonder if just a sandwich is enough to fight crime. Of course, irony is important, but stronger measures are needed.
