Salerno, the carousels “free” the square from drug dealing and baby gangs

It was enough that the lighting was enhanced by the lights of the rides and stalls to restore a Gloriosi square the soul that has lost between baby gangs, drug dealing and degradation. «We do not have the presumption of representing a safeguard of legality but we want to be part of the recovery of this square, symbol of Torrione; and bring the families back here. It is clear that, with the arrival of the rides and the market, the square has once again become a meeting place for citizens who are already flocking in large numbers“, explains Ciro Pietrofesapresident of Anva Salerno and promoter of the initiative. The square in the heart of the eastern area, in fact, has been at the center of the news for months for incidents of crime linked to drug dealing but also more marginal but equally worrying because they involve very young people and frighten the residents. «Our goal – clarifies Pietrofesa – is to help recover everything and everyone, starting with the kids. We are here not to make sure that the discomfort simply moves elsewhere but to listen to their needs, try to understand how to involve them in a healthy way».
