Degradation and violence a stone's throw from the center of Cagliari: the "ghetto" of via Riva di Ponente

The umpteenth quarrel ended in stab wounds in what can be considered a ghetto a stone's throw from the center of Cagliari .

The gray iron door separates the decay from the rest of the world. It could be called the hotel desperation in via Riva di Ponente , a stone's throw from the central via Roma, an abandoned building that has become a sort of "social dump" where about 70 African unfortunates find refuge in unsanitary conditions that are certainly not optimal.

The hovel has risen to the headlines for the umpteenth time for the stabbing on Friday night.

Yesterday, the road a few minutes from the heart of the capital was lit up in blue by the flashing lights of the Carabinieri, Police and 118, who often carry out blitzes in search of drugs and illegal immigrants.
