Background:

Sixteen years ago Carmine Schiavone, a former mafia boss declared that tens of thousand of toxic waste has been buried in the countryside of Naples.

The farmlands around Naples, are contaminated from the Mafia's racket in disposing of toxic waste, mainly from north Italian industries that ask no questions about where their garbage goes. Dozens of area fields have been sequestered, after authorities found that decades of toxic waste dumping by the Camorra crime syndicate had poisoned the wells, tainting the water that irrigates crops with lead, arsenic and the industrial solvent tetrachloride.

Nowadays cancer rate in the area has peaked far beyond the average.
