48 - Naples - Nov 15 - Part 1 from YouTube :: Videos by AlJazeeraEnglish on November 15, 2008 0 views
Once a glittering regional capital, modern Naples' reputation has been tarnished by organised crime and soaring unemployment but in this week's programme, Amanda Palmer and the 48 team meet local journalists Andrea and Ilaria, who show them how this brash city is determined to shrug off the forces holding it back. The most destructive of these forces is the local mafia, The Camorra older and arguably more powerful than Sicily's Cosa Nostra - which operates like a vast corporation controlling Neapolitan business and local politics. But some are willing to challenge their power, as 48 discovers when Andrea takes the team to meet the The "Sott' 'o pont'" (Under the Bridge) theatre company an organisation trying to educate teenagers about the dangers of Camorrista life through drama. For many, the most vivid image of modern Naples is the 'garbage crisis', which left the city festering in uncollected refuse for nearly a year. We head to the suburb of Villaricca, home to Europe's largest rubbish dump, to meet local percussion band Bidonvillarik. Their musical instruments are built from rubbish to draw attention to the garbage crisis - which, they say, is far from over. Naples is proud to have maintained its own language, and nowhere is it more alive than in its beloved local folk music, Canzone Napoletana. We meet 12-year-old Fortuna, one of the genre's hugely popular child singers, as she performs to an enraptured crowd at a birthday party in one of the narrow streets of the Forcella district.

The next morning, our guide Ilaria introduces Amanda to 'Pizza Master' Enrico, who runs a training course for local teenagers. His students are keen to learn a respected craft which can earn them a healthy, legitimate wage in a city where high unemployment makes joining the Camorra an all too attractive an option. Amanda learns the secrets of the perfect margherita the precise dimensions and ingredients of which are enshrined in EU law - and attempts to solve the mystery of why pizza making is such a macho career. Next we take the dramatic coast road around the Bay of Naples towards Amalfi, to visit one of the terraced lemon farms that have characterised the craggy coastal landscape of the Naples region for centuries. Lifelong lemon farmer Luigi reveals the passion for his fruit that keeps him fondly tending his terraces at the age of 74, and introduces us to his protégé, 'Young Luigi'. Finally, Ilaria and Andrea take us to the village of Montevergine for the annual festival of Tammurriata, a traditional Neapolitan style of music and dance with a huge following among young people. An earthy blend of pagan sensuality and Christian spirituality, the festival celebrates fertility, rebirth, and a successful harvest.
