Naples, a city sinking. The Vomero district tops the list of instabilities. Not even the most attended school of the district, the Sannazaro high school, is an exception: in front of one of the side exits, the sidewalk has recently collapsed, revealing a large chasm beneath. The area is blocked off with a red fence that also prevents the opening of the school's safety door. Fortunately, the high school has another side exit on the opposite side of the building, which is regularly opened to allow for any (absolutely unforeseen) rapid escapes from the school in case of an emergency. There is no mention of ongoing work around the small collapse which, however, observed up close, shows a significant depth and a widening beneath the sidewalk that, to the untrained eye, seems quite worrying. Probably, a more in-depth investigation on the matter will be necessary, especially because the fence is already almost knocked down and the area is highly frequented by young people who could get hurt if they approached the collapse. The street is Via Giacomo Puccini, part of the so-called "secondary roads" which the municipality is responsible for. The president of the local parliament, Clementina Cozzolino, after addressing the complex issue of Via Morghen, is now called upon to activate her offices for the small, but dangerous, chasm of the Sannazaro high school.
