- In the city of Naples, Italy, the Mafia has controlled the waste-management industry for decades -- dumping and burning trash across its rolling hills and vineyards. In 1994, the European Union declared the situation an official environmental emergency, and things have only gotten worse since then. When we investigated the situation we found mutated sheep, poisoned mozzarella, alarming rates of cancer, and pissed off farmers ready to push back against the Camorra, Italy's most powerful and dangerous criminal organization (and the government that enables it).

I'm from Italy, Sicily.. i understand every problem of my country.. we're the last country in europe.. there're too much corruption.. too much political problems.. People thinks that Italy is the best (for them we have the best food, the best cars, the best clothes, the best everything) in the world.. but in reality is not!!
We have to change our thinks for a new Italy!
iMaux not to offend you but open your eyes no1 especially here in the USA anywhere thinks you all have the best of anything except maybe the best at destroying your own Homeland....
iMaux you have cosa nostra is everything only if people weren’t too greedy
No one thinks Italy is the best
Joni XD you should visit there. Florence Tuscany etc. it’s one of the most amazing places with the most amazing culture and people anywhere in the world. Like the OP said though they have tons of problems. One of which being they have WAY too many politicians. Bureaucracy in Italy makes America look like a libertarian paradise
Ralph Morales 😂😂😂
Mafia and government in Italy eating in the same plate.
It's difficult for us understand the differences between illegal crime and legal crime.
no different in America or Britain, look up the knnedy assisanation, they always work very closely with conventional criminals because it gives them pausible deniability, they use them and then come in and arrest later and are called heroes when they created them all along and then they prop up there next puppet criminal who will later be fucked aswell
is not true, we have massive anti-mafia operation by the army
"It's difficult for us understand the differences between illegal crime and legal crime."
Because there are none.
*Italy has the strictest laws against mafia in the world so dumbass shut up. Learn what is the Article 41 bis prison regime, before opening your filtfhy mouth saying bullshits*
Malleus Maleficarum they created that article foo.
Being a environmental activist in Italy must fucking suck
It sucks pretty much everywhere
+Open the Light AUA probably you don't know italian mafia :) try to be an environmental activist in naples ;)
+Davide isn't the government paying off maffia type people to shut people up and cover up their mistakes?
+Open the Light AUA other way around buddy we pay off everyone dont fuck with the mafia
+Open the Light AUA only in Southern Italy.
I'm impressed that they got Freddy Mercury back from the dead for this documentary.
Doomguy Clearly Lele is a cover name ;)
+Doomguy LOL Wanted to make the same comment.
Nothing to laugh abot this video..
🤣🤦🏻♀️ I hate you
Why? Bono is already in this documentary 8:38
background music gives an eerie feel to this video.
Really? Personally I found the corruption and disregard for all life on Earth the most eerie.
I guess we have different opinions.
It’s a fitting soundtrack
The music of this video.. it's so creppy and so right for the subject
He hands kept going everywhere when she was driving 😂
What did you expect? She's
A) Italian
B) very animated about what she's talking about because she's invested in it.
@@Sgt.Dornan A)
Damn! The mutated sheep were hard to look at. Messed up.
watching this video a person could think that the whole italy is flood by garbage...pity that in reality it happened exclusively in the area of naples....
next time you should make a video in which you show Detroit entitling it "The Usa a 3rd world country"
the video is right.. garbage in naples is a full italian problem.. the chain of garbage often starts within northern italy industries and their toxic waste dumped in southern italy, with the help of camorra.. so the whole italy is linked in this shame.. also the video is quite outdated, but same garbage problems are now happening in rome and in sicily, check it out
Cane Rognoso For many tourists Naples represent the stereotypes of Italy..pizza, spaghetti, mozzarella, o sole mio, mafia, romance, so every italian abroad is linked to that. Hence the title. And the italian problem is that our fucking toxic garbage now excavated in ould fields has still labeled the name of lombard and venetian industries. There are millions of tons of that shit fullfilling our dumps, so there is no more space for ours. And, again, it's not just our problem, if you sell cocaine in daylight in the center of milan you get caught by police in 5 minutes, but for 30 years trucks from nordern italy without any licence discharged every kind of toxic shit even in daylight, even in inhabited areas, and nobody got caught. It's not just "mafia", but a whole awesome and corrupted system, from the nord to the south. We had no industries but a lot of fields. This is a true fully italian shame.. don't try to discharge it on the south, in the video you can see what kind of serious warm hearted persons are fighting for that.
The city of Naples is reduced in this state because of the Italian state that has always made the interests of the North and of the lobbies leaving southern italy in the mafia's hands.So actually the shame is Italy my dear, not Naples which is only a colony since 1860.
Pontifex Maximus mafia in Italy is well widespread in all the regions, except in the two regions which aren't Italian from an anthroplogical point of view: Sardinia and South Tyrol. The bullshits you have written are only neoborbonic rants, Mafia and Camorra in Naples isn't a recent organization, it have been existing for centuries
they did
8:45 Seeing that deformed sheep, disturbed me for days.
It was. A death bunny.. believe me im italian
@@italian_pewallboy1260 What's a "death bunny"?
@@gmx1100 yeah what is dat
@@gmx1100 WTF go back to school
this is crazy how mafia playing with peoples life! I hope one day people rise up against them !!
Lived in Naples for three years and personally experienced the problems with the trash, health regulates, and the Camorra.
Listening to somebody speak Italian is music to my ears.
Truly, its amazingly smooth, I don't think I have ever described a language as smooth before, but Italian is.
that couple that was speaking.....she wouldnt let her dude say a fucking thing....lol
normally if u dig further, those gang criminal investigation officers are receiving monthly stipend from those organizations... so, who gonna care if even the chief of police do not want to act... it's very easy to stamp down on criminal organizations... but, who cares, they got their monthly stipend rite?
where is the prize as best investigator? I live in naples and you got it! but not only officiers, mostly politicians!! and even judges!! and you see the system berlusconi created? mafia is good in small cities because they move lots of votes by purchasing the poorest and most desperate people.. so there is no real interest in deleting all of it.. also because if they arrest all of mafia.. many of them will start to "sing".. and many politicians could go in the fucknig jail
7:05 - the notorius italian move)
It's only news about Italy if it's about the mafia. Such a shame. As a proud Italian American, I have to say I'm quite disappointed. Why are we Southern Europeans always seen as lower than Northern Europeans?
Terrorism is a word moulded to suit the politician - they have a meeting and decide who the terrorist will be. We as the people need to stop that and look at the real things like water, safety and garbage disposal in a responsible manner.
When she said just" last year, July 2007" I was like, hold up that was 15 years ago ..then I checked the upload date 😂
I was in Napoli in 2008 and I saw the trash heaps. It was so sad.
As an American, I'd say we're all about the same. Unless you think congress isn't influenced by lobbyist. The US congress goes to the highest bidder: Monsanto, Big Pharma, Tobacco.
It's not like gov't and the mafia are too different from each other as entities. One's only illegal because it's in competition of the other.
The music sounds like some sort of Dystopian nightmare.
wow vice. there are so many sheltered americans such as myself that would have had no idea about any of this had you and other journalistic agencies not reported on this. bravo.
one word about south Korea: GANGNAM STYLE.
Nah, my boss is from Italy, he say's this is 100% true.
I can't believe Berlusconi picked up that napkin with his bare hand. NASTY!
Well done Vice for highlighting this!
This kind of reminds me of the movie Idiocracy:(heaping mounds of trash
i like vice, but they really need to make a playlist containing all their documentarys on serious topics. Its kinda hard to find the serious stuff amidst all those entertainment videos.
I'm sad that people didn't know this already.
That is absolutely shameful.
My relatives live in Naples and i hate it there to be honest, i mean some parts of Naples is nice but i wish they lived more up north as i feel it's much better than the south of Italy.
Is this Italy !!! Europe !!!! I can not believe !
+mohamad hadad Italy is no Europe. It has no european identity. It's an island
Pauls LOL
mohamad hadad It's true. Italians don't consider themselves european. They are too nationalistic for that
+mohamad hadad and Naples is not Italy.
At least its a city from Italy, you cant eliminate the city and its people !
Trust me, you have to actually see it with your own eyes for it to really gross you out. My family and I planned a 5 day holiday there over ten years and boy were we disappointed. It is proper dirty and that is not an exaggeration. Everywhere you looked there was rubbish spilling over the bins and containers..........you literally stop to ask yourself if you are in Europe anymore.
The Bugatti brand was acquired by Volkswagen in 1998. In the mid to late nineties Bugatti commissioned Italian car designer (later named car designer of the century) Giorgetto Giugiaro's studio ItalDesign Giugiario to run a few concept cars. In varying degrees you are both right and wrong at the same time.
anyone else notice that quick ``who the fuck is thy guy`` subtitle :D
THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED UNDER LUCKY LUCIANO'S WATCH .....BOY ARE THEY IN FOR A RUDE ASS AWAKING.. MISS YOU LUCKY....RIP LUCKY LUCIANO 2001
That woman at 13:48 needs to let her husband talk! Goddamn!
See, this VIce reporter did it the RIGHT way. He didn't go on and on about "what he was thinking" through the whole video, he simply let the story speak for itself.
More Vice documentaries need to take this guy's cue; not just him, but all the European Vice reporters. I'm really sick of all the editoralizing the American reporters do.
this isn't going to be fixed, the whole Campania region will be filled in trash by september 2013 and a lot of families are moving to north. Berlusconi was in charge for almost 20 years and never did anything meaningful about it.
Wow! That footage of Berlusconi picking up the trash was right off the cringe scale...and those two obvious gangsters at the end? Whoa, riveting stuff! The first guy was just radiating violence and a smoldering, barely controlled rage that he couldn't do bodily harm to them like he normally would behind closed doors...and his boss gives him the look of, "Chill! Not here!..." Straight up mob!
these documentaries should make people realize how badly the mafia plague is affecting a wonderful country like italy, but instead people just write stupid crap in the comments, racist insults and boring pizza stereotypes. plus italian people reply with more stupid racist remarks. people should try traveling, make friends with foreigners and get over all of these bloody stereotypes...
This is really difficult for me to watch....my family is from Sicily and I lived in Northern Italy for several years (USAF Aviano). I NEVER traveled to southern Italy and wanted to, but was always discouraged because of THESE reasons... It is such a shame.... Northern Italy is MUCH cleeaner
BELIEVE me dude, the problem is still NOWHERE near fixed ..... It would take another 20 years at least
Loved the story but what is this horrible tune ffs Vice it's disgusting.
Did you just say that?...
Good thing for all the Italian language parts, at least I can know what someone is saying when I read the subtitles. The English parts are so quiet that I miss most of it with earphones turned all the way up.
How much did it cost Vice to have Luigi host, i hear Nintendo keeps him on a tight leash.
Stereotypical Italian gesticulation @ 8:52 lol
Actually, it's like this:
1.Russia
2 Ukraine
3.Belarus
4.Kosovo
5.Moldova
Italy being ranked 14 (which is still bloody high) out of around 50 countries in Europe.
If the US would put in place sanctions saying, hey, we are not going to import any food products from Italy any longer, it's all tainted, I BET they would clean up their act!!! As for ME? I PERSONALLY will no longer purchase ANY food items from Italy. I urge everyone else to join me in this ban. Let's speak with OUR dollars!
If you are worried about toxic food, you should really stop buying US made too. As the US also excels at poisoning their own ground.
Ben Ghazi I'm not worried about eating toxic food... I'm worried about Italy being covered in trash bales.
May I ask why then? Because it looks and smells bad?... The toxicity of the ground and water should be a little more important
Ben Ghazi Did you watch this video? I mean their food supplies are being compromised and their livestock are being killed because they don't think they are healthy enough to be able to be eaten they are so toxic. It is more than esthetics, although that does play a part, it just seems like things are going very very badly and are being handled very poorly. Unfortunately there IS NO easy answer. Trash is a world wide issue. What do we do with it? Burying it doesn't make it go away. We can't just burn it, or throw it into the sea. We can't just cast it off into space. What DO WE DO??? It is a question that thousands of people are spending their entire lives trying to answer. I'm not saying I have the answer, but there MUST be a better way than this. Another thing that concerns me about THIS particular video is that Italy is a very historic place. Every square inch of that place should be considered a world heritage site and should be protected. More so than say the middle of Kentucky. While, I'm sure Kentucky has it's many beauties, it is not as historically important as Italy.
Yes I did watch it, and every problem you bring up is linked to toxicity of the ground and water. And that wasn't a priority for you when I asked the first time, but it seems to be!
The solution is easy, but a tough one. You end capitalism as we know it and implement a sustainable economic system.
We can't sustain the present rape of moder earth. Just now we are using resources at a pace of 2,5 earths. So we need to cut our use by 70%. And that will not happen with capitalism.
And I guess you are American, as protecting the whole of Italy for historic reasons seems very very very over the top for a European like me. 5% is well enough to cover every ancient structure. But I know you mean well ;)
The Constitution protects us from the same level of extreme corruption you see in certain other countries. However, corruption is endemic in every political body around the world.
Well, most of our bug companies already left sweden bc of the high taxes. IKEA is not the only one, there are several worldleading companies that still works in Sweden eg. SKF, H&M, IKEA, Tetra pack, Nordea, Ericsson and so on.
Italy is one of those PIIGS countries here in Europe togheter with Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Greece. Those are the contries with highest debts problem, and since Italy is the 3d biggest economy in Europe there is no country that can pay for them, not even Germany.
Italy had a great contribution to the human consciousness, the extraordinary spectacular renaissance,was the birth of today's society:)
It's not so simple... Mafia, and especially Camorra are really widespread and have strong roots, so, even though we often hear of bosses and criminals being arrested, there's still a lot left to do. I live in Naples and the situation is not so critical, or at least noticeable, as shown, but sometimes you can feel there's something worng going on.
That college kid at end was about to be sleeping with the fishes.
Crazy. Looks like the sort of total trashing I saw in Brazil in the early 90s...
Lets be real here, there is not one place on this Earth that is not corrupt. Bring it back to reality please.
Bugatti is actually french, they're made in France. It is just owned by VW, however the founder was Italian.
And no Maserati is owned by Fiat, but is closely linked to Ferrari. For example their engines are derived from Ferrari.
Simple eh? :)
The things the woman said around 12:00...I was litterally clapping to myself :/ sad I know, but she expressed exactly what I was thinking perfectly.
The British Royal familly makes far more from it's own land,businesses and property than the tax payer ever pays for their "Upkeep".Needless to mention that the Queen is also the head of state for nations of the commonwealth,such as Australia,Canada and fourteen other countries of the fifty two states.The UK is not the only country to have a royal family either.Don't get me wrong,I am not a royalist it's just 99% of statements made regarding the UK monarch are bollocks.
Don't mind for my bad english then :)
However, Mafia, as 'Ndrangheta, Cosa Nostra and Camorra, are still alive, but they transformed themselves into a "white collar" machine, so it true that violence is less (but not so much, really, because the "mafia tax" called "pizzo" are still asked to merchant activities and so on, but try to not pay that...), but Mafia actually it is still an integrant part of Italy, and it not true that is localized just on the south of our nation...
I live in Rome 2 hours or so away from naples, I have to say this is not a correct representation of Napolitano lifestyle. The streets are clean and corruption isn't such a big deal.
Was I the only one to think about Mario, when this guy was named Luigi? ahah 9:30
I live in switzerland wich is just next to Italy and i didn't know Italy was looking that poor and trashy!
No words .... very sad ...Italy will go the way of some of the poorest nation's in Africa
wow, i think they need to enroll a different waste agency
Is this a live action version of Golden Wind?
Has the situation got any better?
No I knew that lol. I mean the trash being stacked up on the side of the road, toxic waste, mutated animals, shorter human life spans, etc.
Is that Freddy Mercury in the passenger seat?
Bruno bucciarati is crying
All humans should know every documentary by heart. how dare they not know something on accident.
Well of course people have thought about it, just like how people once thought about walking on the moon, but in till we take that leap and actually do it, we will never know.
At least 12% of Italians owns a gun. Also it's not like the mafia or organized crime is unheard of in the us.
This is happening in America as well, but it's the corporations doing it. Not only is the food toxic but so is the air& drinking water. Greed is killing us.
Welcome to my country guys....what a fucking shame.
I am from another town in Italy and guess what?
We also have an incinerator.....a lot of people died. All of them suffering similar pathologies, exposure to toxic waste and fumes. What a nice thing.
That sheep rabbit thing............was downright freaking scary.
Each country has its own problem
Unlabeled people, think about your country, before you speak.
Also most Italians I know (Who live in my country I mean) seem to only cook with super fresh veggies and such, to the point where they generally grow there own fruit/vegetables. To think that there are parts of their home country that can't do this is sad.
Did I just see a piece of shit picking up a piece of trash?
I hope you are a child...these are circumscribed areas in remote villages..and this video is old, they are already reclaiming the affected areas.
and anyway open dumps are in all Europe...
Why every comment isnt about the journalist's fake luigi mustache disappoints me.
Yeah because Germany is doing so bad at the moment and we are so stupid to follow them. Dude, its no secret that Italy isn't what it used to be. The only thing you produce well is designer fashion items and luxury cars. The list of things we produce is endless and all around you. So insignificant economy? I think not. PS. We would like to be reimbursed for that piece of shit that AnsaldoBreda sold us. We got it one year and its falling apart...
It shouldn't just b the government doing everything for them they should work as a community for clean there streets as well
Credo che l'Italia possa risolvere questo problema
Out of the Mediterranean I have only met Italians, Greeks & Maltese. You all seem to talk with hand gestures very very much :) I'm not saying that's a bad thing or a good thing. Just an observation that I think is interesting
sad to say, it is only 500 km from where I live, yet it seems another country..
This lady is very brave. You can go to the mafia and hit their empty heads. I am sure they understand like that.
No I think you will find it is "realising". It is called the English language and that is how it has always been spelled in England.
fact: i'm italian and i can talk with my hands behind my back
Talent
Just like the ship accident... There will be a day that it becomes even more toxic, but long before that day, the responsible ones will be far far away, and long gone... All at
bunga-bunga parties... Really sad, such a beautiful country... I will watch what i eat and drink that is produced in Italy, even tough this happens at some other countries too...
500 billion seems a bit unrealistic, i would like to see the figures behind that.
America spends less than 700 billion on their military per year?
... I didn't know there were buffalo in Italy
I am sure there is corruption in all countries...it is just a much bigger problem in forexample russia and italy....
The right title should be: Mafia is (was) trashing some southern areas guys. NOT ITALY!!! Be smart, don't generalize to make the title interesting. ( In Napoli too.. its an huge city .. trash was not everywhere )
Not to step into your little trash talk here, but "With your run-on sentences, no punctuation, no commas.", is not an actual sentence... Nor is, "lol."
She sure can talk about sheep.
Why are they not dumping the trash in the volcanoes??..it gets burnt anyways..and it gets reduced to it basic elements...for free
