In Scampia, a neighborhood often associated with despair, the community gathered to mourn the tragic loss of Roberto Abruzzo, his mother Patrizia Della Ragione, and his sister.

During the funeral, Archbishop Mimmo Battaglia emphasized the ongoing struggles faced by residents living in deteriorating conditions, stating, "No one can sleep peacefully if a single child is at risk due to living in a degraded home.

" The atmosphere was somber, with a significant turnout of around a thousand residents and displaced individuals from the Vele, who marched through the streets in solidarity.

Despite the outpouring of grief, the empty square highlighted a troubling reality: the collective indignation that once filled the area has seemingly faded, leaving behind a haunting silence.

As the community grapples with loss, the need for change and recognition of their plight remains urgent.
