"Don't be upset, Neapolitans and the like, but ‘’L'Espresso‘’ and Santoro are right: Naples is truly an impossible, unbearable, sick city. All that was missing were the two thousand criminals released in Naples and its surroundings by the pardon to give it the final blow. Now crime is rampant, with the applause of the people, and Don Clemente Mastella and his deputy Manconi want to say that the pardon has nothing to do with it: while they were repeating this, four criminals who had killed during a robbery were caught in Naples, three of whom had just been released from prison thanks to the pardon. But it's not just a question of the pardon, I agree. The problem is Naples. Which is really a nasty sewer, to put it in local terms. [...] Walk the streets overflowing with garbage, through the neighborhoods where chaos and noise reign, through the squares and alleys where thuggery rules and cunning trickery runs rampant. No, Naples is unbearable."
