Consequences of Italian Colonialism...
The Waste Crisis in Campania, Italy
By Lucie Greyl, Sara Vegni, Maddalena Natalicchio, Salima Cure and Jessica Ferretti
ABSTRACT
From 1994 to early 2008, the region of Campania in south-west Italy existed under a formal State of Emergency, declared due to the saturation of regional waste treatment facilities. There is growing evidence, including a World Health Organisation (WHO) study of the region, that the accumulation of waste, illegal and legal, urban and industrial, has contaminated soil, water, and the air with a range of toxic pollutants including dioxins. A high correlation between incidences of cancer, respiratory illnesses, and genetic malformations and the presence of industrial and toxic waste landfills was also found. The Government has been unable to resolve this crisis, adopting measures that have only increased public unrest, exacerbating the conflict. Local communities continue to organise and protest, risking arrest in order to be heard by a Government that has so far excluded them from decisionmaking processes. Meanwhile the management of waste has worsened: from the failure to separate dry from wet waste and the resultant inability to produce compost (necessary for the regeneration of contaminated land) to the continued production of the inaccurately named “ecoballs” that have continued to accumulate due to delays in the construction of incinerators. These delays have necessitated the creation of new stocking areas, the re-opening of old landfills and the creation of new ones. Although Illegal waste management is currently one of the most urgent environmental issues in Italy, public opinion and the media remain silent on the matter.

Napolitania
Napolitania
The term Napolitania is the ultimate development of the substantivation of the adjective Napoletano (or Napolitano, according to the more ancient spelling of the term). The substantivation of Napoletano is widely used in literature prior to the 20th century as historical-geographical term to refer to the neapolitan provinces, as they were still called for long time after the political unification of the peninsula on the 17th of March 1861. The term Napolitania develops at early 20th century as expedient to quickly refer to the land historically inhabited by the Neapolitan people, now that the term Napoli was increasingly getting associated with the city only, unlike in the past. Some of the references already cited in the Napolitania page demonstrates that it has been used by foreign authors exactly to indicate that land. At the best of my knowledge, the first appearance of the term Napolitania dates back to 1911, Società Africana d'Italia Anno XIX, fasc. IX-X, XI-XII, 1911 e Anno XXXI, fasc. V-VI. Going back to my initial point, Napolitania is the ultimate development of the substantivation of the adjective Napoletano, which was used in a geographic meaning too. It is composed of Napoli, the Italian name of the city Naples, and the suffix -tania, developed during the Roman times, and which stands for "land", "country". Napolitania is then the land or country of of Neapolitans. Neapolitans is indeed the historical name of the people who lived in the Kingdom of Naples (and in the continental part of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies from 1816 to 1861) and the appellation survived long after the fall of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Napolitania is then just a linguistic expedient to refer to the country of Naples, which is an entity officially existed from 1285 and 1815 and officially recognised within the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies from 1816 to 1860. The same linguistic development has occurred throughout history to name other lands/nations, like Occitania, Mauritania, Aquitania, etc. The geographical use of the term Napolitania develops pretty much at the same time with the other geographical terms, like Padania and Appenninia. The asteroid 1876 Napolitania is named after Naples, by following the same pattern. The historical geographical definition for Napolitania coincedes withe the territories that between 1285 and 1815 were part of the Kingdom of Naples including the ancient papal enclaves of Benevento and Pontecorvo. In the historical definition of Napolitania the administrative divisions of the ancient Kingdom of Naples were, from south to north, the following: Calabria Ultra, Calabria Citra, Terra d'Otranto, Basilicata, Terra di Bari, Principato Citra, Principato Ultra, Province of Naples, Capitanata, Contado di Molise, Terra di Lavoro, Abruzzo Citra, Abruzzo Ultra I and Abruzzo Ultra II. Napolitania has also a modern definition according to some southern Italy autonomist movements,[4] which define Napolitania as an autonomous macro-region in an eventually federal Italy. In this definition Napolitania will be composed of existing Italian regions that will be merged to a macro-region, following regions will compose Napolitania: Calabria, Basilicata, Apulia, Campania, Molise, Abruzzo, far eastern part and southern part of Lazio (included in the provinces of Latina, Frosinone and Rieti.[5] Indipendentists see Napolitania as the motherland of Neapolitans.

First Independence Movements Meeting in Naples
April 28: First Independence Movements Meeting in Naples, Terminus hotel
ABCNEWS, continuing its investigation of true south Italians independence promoters or fakes, after having exposed in detail many of the fakes, we are pleased to consider that we have found authentic independence promoters for the South Italy.
They show a precise concept: that is absolutely essential that South Italy will resume its independence, and act promptly and effectively to reach theirs goal.
In this regard, as first step has been created a Southern Italian Secessionist Party (PSIM), initiative of Stefano Surace, the journalist also internationally famous for his investigations that have produced reforms not only in Italy, and the protagonist of events highly meritorious in the Public Interest who've made this several times around the world on the wings of the media. In addition to martial arts master (Ju-Jitsu) world-famous.
This party has clearly stated in the statute that its purpose is "to promote the secession of Southern Italy by the current Italian state, as the only real way to end the intolerable condition in which the land is now, always a source of culture and civilizations "
And this party is just created and has received acclaim from many different living environments, having apparently taken a deep need of Southerners, expressing officially and clearly.
Then there was the famous TV interview of Pietro Golia to Surace, who repeatedly put on the air has aroused considerable enthusiasm.

Shortly after there were the actions of the massive movement of Forconi in Sicily, where among other things, the population has publicly burned the so-called tricolore(Italy's national flag), symbol of the state and its serious crimes against the Southerners.
Recover the independence of South Italy
And now it was organized a meeting of all the southern independentists - ie all those who are determined to help restore independence to the territory of the State of the Two Sicilies - for Saturday, April 28 in Naples (the hotel Terminus, two walk from Central Station, beginning at 15).
Theme of the meeting very real: how to realize the necessary and legitimate independence.
It should be noted here that Italy has ratified an international convention, signed at the UN on 16.12.1966.
Which art. 1 establishes "That all peoples have the right to self determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural."
And that "States Parties to the present Covenant shall promote the realization of the right of self-determination and shall respect that right, in accordance with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations."
Convention which was ratified by Italy with Law. 881 of 10.25.1977 (published in the Official Gazette, ordinary supplement of 7 December 1977, no. 333) and takes precedence over Italian law, as confirmed by the Court of Cassation decision, 21.3.1975.
Promoters
Among the promoters of the meeting Antonio Iannaccone, Drusiana Vetrano, Ciro Borrelli, Giovanni Cervero and other leaders of an organization that has affectionately named Liberation Front of Napolitania (FLN).
In particular, Ciro Borrelli, coordinator of the FLN Campania Committee, is the promoter the meeting.
Giovanni Cervero invited Stefano Surace, who, appreciating this deep similarity of views and wishes, agreed to participate primarily as a journalist and opinion surveys deeply engaged in the battle for the South.

Good luck, authentic southerner independentists, the people of South Italy is counting on you. And the whole Europe - which now ABCNEWS and others have opened the eyes for some impudent manipulations so far systematically perpetrated against the South - looks sympathetically at your ransom against the despicable crime against humanity that has been and continues to be the so-called "Unification of Italy."
Business to follow ...
