elisabeth_procidaProcida, Naples. Elisabeth, a Peruvian woman married to an Italian man who died four years ago, is going through a difficult situation. She lives in small house of only 20sq. m, built illegally years ago when building plans in Southern Italy were abandoned. Her house, along with many other luxurious villas built next to it, had to pay a building sanction and Elisabeth spent all her savings to pay it, in order to keep her house. Despite this, we do not want to discuss legal matters, our aim is to present this appalling situation that affected Elisabeth’s life so much that she wanted to end her life. Even if authorities mean to demolish this small house we whish they provide Elisabeth with an alternative accommodation, as the woman is now living in poverty and destitution. Elisabeth in fact is not provided with any pension, hers or her husband’s, and she lives only thanks to other citizens’ solidarity. The major of Procida, Vincenzo Capezzuto, stepped-in in Elisabeth’s situation, as to the poor woman even running water service was suspended. Following the protests of many citizens to protect Elisabeth’s right basically to survive, the major of the city declared that the woman’s water supply was suspended erroneously and that he will provide Elisabeth with the primary good as soon as he can. On Wednesday 27th a new meeting will take place, in order to find a solution for the poor woman who has been living in Procida for ten years, in a small house that will be demolished even if Elisabeth payed for her house’s building sanction. It will be fundamental to understand why the woman’s money, the savings of a lifetime, have been hold back, as the building sanction has been not approved. However it seems the major promised to find a solution to give Elisabeth an accommodation. We hope the major promises to come true.
