Sophia Loren is imploring people to clear the garbage off the streets of her beloved Naples.
"I beg you, with my hands clasped in prayer, to multiply efforts to remedy to this tragedy," Loren was quoted as saying by the Italian daily La Repubblica on Friday.
Loren said that seeing footage of the streets of Naples and the surrounding Campania region littered by piles of trash moves her to tears.
"I look at this tragedy with deep anguish in my heart," the paper quoted Loren as saying.
Speaking from Geneva, she urged Neapolitans: "Cooperate! Make an effort! This is our problem."
Loren spent her early years in the small town of Pozzuoli, just outside Naples, and her family moved into the city during World War II. The 73-year-old Italian actress, who won the best-actress Academy Award in 1962 for "Two Women," now divides her time between Switzerland and the United States, but the paper said she recalled Pozzuoli and Naples as the places of her "dearest memories."
Since December, Naples and its surrounding areas have been plagued by tons of garbage. Collectors stopped picking up the trash because dumps are full and residents have protested against new ones. Angry residents have also taken to burning rubbish, knocking over refuse bins and dumping bags of refuse in the countryside.
The government of Premier Silvio Berlusconi has passed a series of measures aimed at solving the crisis.
Hadouken! spoke to Gigwise today ahead of their performance on The John Peel Stage to explain their thoughts on Glastonbury.
Frontman James Smith was looking eager to get out and perform as he sat down backstage to discuss his bands upcoming performance.
“It’s looking pretty muddy already – but that’s part of the fun. We’re looking forward to smashing it.”
He revealed Hadouken! would be playing a cover of The Prodigy’s ‘Breathe’ and expressed his concern over the line-up.
“I was looking at the bill and I didn’t think there was many bands that we shared a lot in common with so hopefully we’ll have a little niche in the crowd.”
Speaking of the band’s fantastic past year James said: “It’s been pretty mental and snowballing – you’ve got to accept that it’s not going to last forever.”
With Jay-Z making all the headlines over his much debated headline appearance on Saturday Gigwise asked James’ opinion on the matter.
He said: “I think it’s a shame that it’s been like that. I think it could have been a really exciting proposition that you’re going to have a Hip-Hop act, but it seems to have been turned sour.
James finally added some touching sentiments over the Glastonbury experience: “It’s obviously the biggest festival and one of the first as well – it’s definitely got a history and it’s a good one to play and say we’ve done.”
