Water pump in Naples, collapsed trees in parked cars in Vomero

Terror to via Scarlatti, in the heart of Vomero. Shortly after 12.30, while a strong windstorm hit the entire city, the trunk of one of the huge trees that characterize the main pedestrian artery of Vomero broke and fell to the ground hitting some parked cars. Bystanders were miraculously unharmed and fortunately sought refuge in nearby tents due to the powerful gusts of water. Almost completely destroyed at least three cars.

Firefighters are intervening to free the cars from the weight of the branches and secure the area, but the interventions are considerably complicated by the dozens of similar reports that come from all over the city. Also in via Tasso, a few steps from Largo Madre Teresa, a tree fell alone.

The problem of poor tree maintenance, particularly the lack of pruning and the lack of thinning of the thick foliage, comes back strongly to the fore on the first real day of bad weather. Without a doubt a bad sign for the autumn that is beginning to be felt.

“Failure to maintain trees is a real attack on public safety: the anger of Maria Teresa Ercolanese of the committee Green gazebo – and we firmly believe that the municipality is responsible for what is happening. For months we have been sending daily reports on the need to maintain trees, no one has ever deigned to listen. Now we are faced with an almost tragedy that should make people think about serious responsibilities but want to mask their inefficiencies after the theft of a couple of vans -the attack- something that offends the intelligence of those who listen to it, but of course what it is the collapse over the management of public parks. Now they will surely propose another sacrifice plan. However, we believe that trees should not be cut down, but simply cared for. Autumn has arrived – he concludes – and maintenance interventions stop at the pole as always. And as always, Neapolitan citizens will have to rely on good luck not to be hit by the falling trees as soon as there is a windy day.
