Demolition of the last four of the
notorious Vele (Sails) buildings in the drug-ridden Naples
district of Scampia, a project interrupted by the COVID
emergency, was nearing completion on Wednesday, local sources
said.
A 'restyling' of the area, which is trying to make a civic
comeback after years of being identified with the Camorra mafia
and drug pushing, will then start.
The Sails were an iconic backdrop in the hit Camorra TV show
Gomorra (Gomorrah), based on Roberto Saviano's expose' of the
same name.
