The neighborhood is the same as the quote from the Neapolitan tradition books: «In Rione Sanità, when you were happy, you paid for two coffees: one for yourself and one for the next customer. It is the philanthropic gesture of the “suspended coffee.” A way to offer a coffee to humanity.
From today, always in the Rione Sanità, there is instead the “suspended buffer”. Two thousand tests that the neighborhood pharmacist Ersilio Mele has made available to the association “Sa.Di.Sa” (Health, Health Rights “directed by the lawyer Angelo Melone) and the San Gennaro Onlus Foundation chaired by the parish priest Don Antonio Loffredo, with the collaboration of the III Municipality (president Ivo Poggiani).
Two shifts (8-14 and 15-20), the Basilica of San Severo outside the walls (piazzetta san Severo in Capodimonte, Rione Sanità di Napoli) is transformed into a laboratory (complete with separate rows to avoid any intersection between people, as seen in the photo) for the administration of swabs that find Covid thanks to the voluntary work of three doctors (Stefano Viglione, Mario Russo, Armando Monfregola), a biologist (Salvatore Sommella), three nurses and 20 young people.
A “war machine” coordinated by Giada Filippetti Della Rocca, 27, originally from Bologna but who moved to Naples to start a start-up in the tourism-real estate sector. “But now I am only the vice-president of the Sa.Di.Sa., which aims to help the less fortunate people who live in the Rione Sanità – she says -. We will manufacture these pads at a cost of € 18 instead of the market price of € 60. But we are expecting so many “suspended tampons”. In fact, anyone can donate tampons to those who cannot afford the cost. A revolutionary covid screening campaign with strong social value.
Five hundred people have already booked in just two days of opening the dedicated number 3792151320, there are even requests from Rome. Patients will be received at the rate of 50 per day, 5 per hour.
