In Casalnuovo di Napoli 20 years of stasis

In Casalnuovo di Napoli 20 years of stasis

C’’ a crowd of boys and girls that I couldn't imagine meeting at this time. At least a hundred.

I'm going to Marigliano to visit some friends, using the train. Always in the direction of Marigliano I took the train every morning when I went to high school. In Marigliano precisely.

The train arrives 5 minutes late, half empty, leaves again half full. As the stations pass, the train continues to fill up as if it were an ordinary working day. Another hundred people go up to La Pigna, many fewer to Talona.

So just as 20 years ago Casalnuovo offered nothing to us kids of the time, so today nothing offers these new generations who prefer to move to Pomigliano en masse rather than stay in the busy and unlivable Casalnuovo.

Arriving in Pomigliano the train empties and we go from packed carriages without seats and people standing in the corridors, to a dozens of people in the whole train including me.

È It's sad to see that in 20 years nothing has happened. changed.
