Marigliano
Italy, officially the Italian Republic or Repubblica Italiana, is a Southern European country comprising of the Po River valley, the Italian Peninsula and the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. It is shaped like a boot and for this reason Italians commonly call it lo Stivale, the boot or, due to its prevalent peninsular geographical nature, la Penisola, the Peninsula.
Inhabitants of Italy are referred to as Italians. Their official language is Standard Italian, descendant of Tuscan dialect and a direct descendant of Latin. The word Italy is derived from the Homeric Aeolic word which means bull. Italy is subject to highly diverse weather conditions in autumn, winter, and spring. The country has the fifth-highest population density in Europe at 193 persons per square kilometer. Today, despite regional variations in the form of accents and vowel emphasis, Italian is fully comprehensible to most throughout the country.
Marigliano is a municipality in the province of Naples, located 25 kilometers from Naples. It has a population of 30,578 as of the end of 2004, with a density of 177 people per square kilometer. The nearby towns include Brusciano, Acerra, Mariglianella, Nola, San Vitaliano, Scisciano, and Somma Vesuviana.
Marigliano is firmly under the control of the Camorra, in particular the group led by Antonio Capasso. The social life and economic activities are strongly influenced by the Camorra. One of the chief activities is the illegal treatment of industrial and urban waste in the Marigliano countryside, a large region containing Nola, Acerra and Marigliano itself. Marigliano is an attractive city with natural beauty and historical places, while traveling in Italy.
