MILAN. Every city has its scars, via Padova bleeds since 1999, when the “nine dead in nine days” brought Milan to the forefront of the world of crime. Among the slain, there was Ezio Bartocci, a respected jeweler, in via Padova were held torchlight parades against the immigration of african and Albanian, until the then-deputy prosecutor Ilda Boccassini made the stop band. They were all white, Italian, headed by a young Dutch. But since then, cyclically, this road – scar, long and four kilometres, is crossed by railway bridges, which ends up in a tangle of overpasses, “bleeds “, immersed as it is in the political controversy on the safety. It happened yesterday, when the mayor mr. Giuseppe Sal a, in speaking of lurking in the piazzale Loreto, the cost to a victim, it seems, in the endless battle between drug dealers, has asked to use in via Padova, a part of the soldiers “unemployed” after the Jubilee.
instead, they Are more than shared in the neighbourhood the words of Piero Leodi, representative of one of the many committees that animate the street, one of the “Friends of via Idro”: “A person who does not know our way, and read what many say, he believes that it is a Bronx. Here instead – says – the disease is serious, however, is not the cancer, if I can use the bad metaphor. Know how you call the evil of via Padova? It’s called abandonment, because here no politician has done anything serious and long-term, including Gabriele Albertini and Letizia Moratti”.
Passes a steering wheel, the chronicler knows the capopattuglia, that sums up brutally so: “If in this street shit a pigeon, is in the audience”. Understates the situation? It does not seem, indeed, knows the bar cover of the gangster in calabria, he also knows of the last round-up, in the way Moved, with three pushers carried away. Is that all the details of the blacks of this “get the news” they are arch-known and unchanged for decades. To start from the most dated and quoted, the houses of via Arquà, via Clitumno, and via Chavez, are literally a shadow line: no one who lives in this part of town goes there willingly.
Are streets desertificate, on which overlook condos that have bills pending of light, now in excess of 400 thousand euros. Therefore, the stairs are dark even with the full moon and the landings remain mysterious. The tenants, almost all male, they go up and down in the night with torches, like the miners. Strangers are not welcome, you found the long-examined.
In the “ca’ de ringhera”, houses of railing, the population of immigrants to the southern poor, now arriving from other wars and other famine immigrants in the world, still more the poor: when a “master of the house” takes the place of the other, prefers to dispose of the furniture, and anyone watching those chipboard filthy and those fabrics with holes, you can get an idea of the misery of these streets. Beds, blankets, pillows are for rent 15, 20 euros per night, for dozens and dozens of people, of ghosts without a name.
Not a few desperate night shaman to that here, joking about the macabre, is called “the nightlife of via Moved”. Now, the “movida”, so called, is, in Milan, the Navigli, the cocktail, the “night life” (night life, night life, glamour, of the local fashion. In this corner of via Padova, two transgender people – be it said without sexism, is a fact of chronicle – market meat dishes, and soups, bring them with a cart at the supermarket, and an overload of pots and pans, with a cylinder of camping gas and a stove.
In the gardens of the customers there, not far away there is a “good subtracted from the mafia”: it would be the case, let us get someone in the Prosecutor’s office and associations against the mafia. At least to see. The gates were open, there in the night, “there are those who sleep, who are addicted to drugs, who sells”, the lawn mangy is a dump. For months and months. Always the same. Recounts how discouraged Paul Pinardi, of the newspaper “Ilponte”, first on paper, now on-line: “Now we have so many multiethnic festivals and conferences on via Padova I lost count, but, and I say this from the left, are spot, a serious intervention to put in place the area, as happened in Turin, Porta Palazzo, the recovery of the private under public control, municipal, there has never been.
it Would have been enough, we who live in the area we know well.”
“In the program Pisapia adds,” a lady who does not want to be named – was planned, and signage in multiple languages, to say not to leave the bottles where it happens, not to abandon the household. He was mayor five years, who has seen those signs?”. Yes, that is to say, you would need a really good army: the salvation army, however, and not of the guns.
