Another weekend dedicated to chaos in the neighborhood of Venice, with fireworks and boys who collided and threw various objects in Piazza del Posto Pio. On the bridge in via della Venezia, at the corner with the Rosciano stopovers, around 11 pm on Saturday 29 October – to celebrate a birthday that was taking place in a local area – various fireworks were lit and launched. this went on for several minutes, thus enticing the residents of the area due to the loud bangs near the boats and cars. Fires that, thanks to the wind, also ended up on some buildings in via della Venezia.
The evening continued with groups of kids who in Piazza del Posto Pio have removed the olives from the trees present and started having a fight against them, in some cases also adding some bottles. The very young in fact hid behind the cars parked along the square, with the residents who, hearing the screams, looked out of the windows and asked to get away from the parked cars before they damaged them. At that point, however, someone got on the hoods challenging the residents to get out for a confrontation. Which, fortunately, thanks to the common sense of the residents did not happen. Then the launch of firecrackers under the cars and near the premises that has some restaurateurs to intervene without getting in return mostly rude answers.
Residents: “There are cameras, it is impossible for anyone to see what is happening”
During the evening, the police made some passages in the area for checks but evidently it was not enough. In the area of Piazza del Posto Pio and Via della Venezia, however, there are also many cameras present, added during the Modigliani exhibition. The residents themselves reside “if they are in operation or if they are only installed to act as a deterrent, because it is not possible that no one ever sees what happens in that specific area”.
But the evening didn’t end there. Around 2 am an ambulance from the SVS with the doctor intervened in Piazza del Posto Pio for a 19-year-old girl from Pontedera who was rescued because she was on the ground in an evident state of alteration, perhaps due to too much alcohol ingested. At the arrival of the volunteers to the girl around there were also four other people, also in an evident state of alteration, who at first did not even want the girl to be taken to the hospital. Carabinieri intervened on site to assist the volunteers and the doctor.
