Arzano, dead bodies "left" in burial pits: the consortium begins exhumation procedures for 61 bodies.

Arzano – The interim director of the consortium of the municipalities of Arzano, Casavatore, and Casoria, pursuant to the Mortuary Police Regulations, the favorable opinion of the Regional Council, and the provisions of Presidential Decree No. 285 of September 10, 1990, and current national and regional health regulations, which set a 10-year deadline for routine exhumations, has published on the public noticeboard and subsequently via notices the list of bodies buried from 1999 to 2015, for which official exhumation is required, having elapsed the ten-year period established by current legislation.

In the notice, Director Sabato Terracciano, citing Article 85, paragraph 1, of Presidential Decree No. 285/1990, emphasized that the bones found during routine exhumations will be collected and deposited in the common ossuary, unless interested parties request to collect them and place them in cells, niches, and tombs already granted to them.

The law was implemented because the Arzano, Casavatore, and Casoria Cemetery Consortium is running out of available burial areas, and therefore finds itself forced to carry out routine exhumations (which have been in place for more than a decade) to free up additional burial areas.

Given the above, the consortium has invited the relatives of the deceased, listed in the attached list, to come to the Consortium's Cemetery Services Office (located within the Consortium, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.) to request exhumation.

The consortium also announces that if no requests are received from family members by March 5th, it will proceed with the official exhumations. The order has been forwarded to the ASL Napoli 2 Nord – Competent District; to the Prefecture – Territorial Office of the Government of Naples – Area 2 – Liaison with Local Authorities; to the President of the Consortium Council; to the Mayors of the Consortium Member Municipalities; and posted on the Consortium's notice board and that of the Consortium Member Municipalities for 90 days.
