Scampia, the children of Lotto G get a new playground: Geolier will finance the work.

In Scampia, the voice of change is heard in the laughter and direct demands of children. It was they, the children of Lotto G, who sparked a spontaneous mobilization that in recent weeks has shone a spotlight on the neighborhood's soccer field, which had long been in a state of disrepair and unsafety.

In a series of videos shared on social media, the kids exposed the conditions of the area, denouncing not only the dangers associated with the abandoned structure but also a deeper sense of neglect. "The state has abandoned us, and Gomorrah has disgraced us," they say in one of the videos that went viral, harsh words that capture their desire to escape an image of the neighborhood tied exclusively to crime and stereotypes.

Salvatore Paternoster, president of the Giovani Promesse association, and journalist Cristina Somma, who took up and supported this cry, helped the children bring their story beyond the confines of the neighborhood to the attention of Geolier. The Neapolitan artist's response was simple and direct: "I'll fix it." A promise that went beyond social media, but will translate into concrete action, with site inspections and work aimed at providing the children with a safe and dignified space to play and meet.

The children themselves came up with the idea of ​​naming the area "Geolier Stadium," a gesture of gratitude that is also a sign of belonging and pride. The story thus becomes a symbol of a community attempting to rewrite its own narrative from the bottom up, demanding respect and dignity. A story that speaks of the absence of institutions, but also of internal energies capable of mobilizing and demanding, loudly, to be heard.
