The streets of Rome must be kept clean as it remains one of the world’s popular tourist destination.
Rome’s chief physician Antonio Magi has issued a “hygiene alert”, telling AFP this could be upgraded to a health warning, with disease spread through the faeces of insects and animals banqueting on rotting waste. Discarded pizza boxes or the remains of spaghetti lunches and fruit rinds draw opportunistic seagulls, rats and even wild boars to the streets of Rome, with wolves also spotted closer to the city’s outskirts than ever before.
But the city lacks infrastructure: of its three main landfills, one has closed and the others were ravaged by fire in recent months.‘Degradation and abandonment’ Rome’s mayor and the president of the Lazio region both assured Italy’s environment minister Tuesday that the crisis would be resolved “within 15 days”.
Even Pope Francis has commented on the decline, lamenting in June Rome’s “degradation and abandonment”.
