Homeless Crisis in the Heart of Rome

Several homeless people have settled in Colle Oppio, building a real shelter with blankets. Next to the shelter are various objects and rubbish, while residents report thefts and crime. Mrs. Luisa lives in the area and is dismayed. 'I live a few steps from the park, lately every time I go there with my little dog I feel a great regret. The situation is out of control, a few days ago Ama also took care of clearing the area where some homeless people had camped, but it was useless. The same evening they had already returned, not caring. The responsible subjects are also not harmless, they never seem lucid and could also be dangerous, at least no one can guarantee us the opposite. We residents are really tired of having to witness shameful scenes. There are continuous thefts, and people are afraid of being attacked for some money, not to mention the dirt and excrement. The homeless do their needs in the garden and wash in the fountains, it is really in bad taste. All this happens even in broad daylight, there could be children, but now it seems the norm. We are the ones who have to adapt to this mess, and it doesn't seem right at all'. All this would also have been reported to the Social Operations Room. 'Those who live here see all sorts of things, we would like a concrete change, even the gates unfortunately do not solve the situation. The Municipality should take care of it, someone has to solve the problem and arrange these people elsewhere once and for all, they should not continue to live on the street'. The area should be redeveloped, it is the heart of Rome, a step away from the Colosseum and the Domus Aurea Neroniana, one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the Capital.
