Naples - Increased patrols this weekend in Mergellina, the heart of Neapolitan nightlife. Following recent incidents of violence and fights between young people, which raised alarm among residents and visitors, the State Police increased their presence in the "chalet" area and in Largo Sermoneta, two of the busiest spots on weekend evenings.
The officers of the General Prevention and Public Rescue Office were engaged in a targeted surveillance and prevention service, aimed at ensuring the safety of citizens and discouraging dangerous or illegal behavior.

The activity is part of a broader territorial control strategy implemented by the Naples Police Headquarters to combat youth deviance and the gang brawls that, in recent weeks, have transformed nightlife into a scene of tension and fear.
The constant presence of patrols, investigative sources explain, serves a dual purpose: to prevent clashes between youth gangs and to ensure safe public spaces for residents and tourists. This action aims to restore serenity to one of Naples' iconic entertainment districts, too often marred by incidents of violence and vandalism.
