The demolition work on the Yellow Sail in Scampia , considered by many to be one of the symbols of Gomorrah , began this morning. The workers began work at 10:16. The operation was attended by the mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, the deputy mayor and councilor for urban policies, Laura Lieto, the president of the Municipality, Nardella, and representatives of the Vele Committee.
" Today is truly a beautiful day ," said the mayor, Gaetano Manfredi, "an important day for Naples and for Scampia. It is a symbolic moment in which the demolition of the Vela Gialla begins. We managed to respect the deadline and it is also an emotional moment. Today our thoughts also go to the victims of the Vela Celeste," where a collapse last July caused 3 deaths and 11 injuries.
From the ashes of the Vele inspired by the lines of one of the fathers of modern architecture, the Swiss-French Le Corbusier, transformed over time from cover-worthy complexes to degraded structures for hundreds of families, twelve buildings will rise, each capable of hosting approximately 35 families.
