Pianura torna a far parlare di sé per una nuova escalation di violenze legate ai clan.
In soli venti giorni, si sono registrati un ferimento e due sparatorie, che hanno riacceso i riflettori sui contrasti tra i gruppi Carillo-Perfect and the Santagatas, the latter being the last heirs of the cartel Marsicano-Esposito.Article Key Points
Although the leaders of both clans are currently detained, the young regents continue to move armed, ready to conquer new territories or demonstrate their strength with sensational actions.
The latest episode dates back to just before midnight two days ago, in via Giovanni Brancaccio. Two men in the living room opened fire in the air, firing seven shots from a 7,65 caliber pistol. Fortunately, there were no injuries or material damage.
The police, who are investigating the incident, seem to be oriented towards following the Camorra trail exclusively. The agents of the Flying Squad of the Police Headquarters of Naples, together with colleagues from the Pianura police station, have already started the operations to collect evidence: the shell casings have been collected by the forensic team, while the images from the public and private surveillance cameras are being examined by the investigators.
Some testimonies, although fragmentary, confirm the dynamics: two men on a scooter, whose passenger pulled out a gun and fired into the air without aiming at any target.
A Hot Zone: Behind the Scenes of the Neighborhood
Via Brancaccio non è nuova a episodi di violenza. La zona è considerata sotto l’influenza del clan Carillo-Perfetto ed è stata teatro, nel 2016, dell’ambush a Giovanni Bellofiore, che riportò ferite tali da richiedere il ricovero in ospedale. Proprio in via Brancaccio, Bellofiore, oggi 32enne e recentemente denunciato per resistenza a pubblico ufficiale, è stato nuovamente coinvolto in un incidente sabato scorso.
Together with Mattia Perfetto, son of the imprisoned boss Vitale Perfetto, as Il Roma recalls, he was the protagonist of a chase with the carabinieri, which ended with a crash against a parked car. Both ended up in hospital with non-serious injuries. The reasons for the escape remain unclear, but it is excluded that they were transporting weapons or drugs.
Connections with the “knee-jerking” of February 9
Investigators are evaluating possible links between the recent fibrillations and an episode that occurred at dawn on February 9th in via Santa Maria, also in Pianura. A 47-year-old, already known to the police but with no ties to the clans, was shot in the legs. At the moment, however, no concrete elements have emerged to establish a connection with the latest violence. The case of the shooting on January 31st is different, considered a show of force between the Carillo-Perfetto and the santagata. That night, the Carabinieri of the Pianura station intervened in via dell'Avvenire after some anonymous phone calls reporting gunshots. On site, they found and seized three 7,65 caliber cartridges, the same one used in the last episode.
The Feud Continues: Young Regents in Action
Although the historical leaders of the clans are in prison, the feud between the Carillo-Perfetto and the Santagata shows no signs of abating. The young regents, armed and determined, continue to fight for control of the territory, transforming the streets of Pianura into a battlefield. The police are working to reconstruct the latest episodes and prevent new escalations, but the situation remains tense. The community, meanwhile, lives in fear that the violence could further intensify.

The article clearly highlights the situation of violence in Pianura, but I wonder if the authorities are actually taking effective measures. The young regents seem to have a certain freedom of movement that is worrying for the residents.
It is worrying to see how the situation in Pianura continues to degenerate. The young people seem not to be afraid of the consequences and continue to commit violence. We hope that the police will be able to put an end to this spiral of violence.
