Italy is under international scrutiny for its handling of toxic waste in the "Triangle of Death," an area in Campania plagued by illegal dumping and burning of hazardous materials.

The European Court of Human Rights recently condemned the Italian government for failing to protect citizens' right to life, citing alarming cancer rates in affected areas.

In response, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has appointed General Giuseppe Vadalà as Commissioner to oversee the cleanup.

Vadalà will coordinate efforts to address decades of environmental damage, with a report on progress due within 60 days.

This move aims to unify fragmented efforts and accelerate the long-overdue remediation process.

The government faces mounting pressure to deliver concrete results for a region that has suffered for decades.
