Sophia Loren makes Naples less dumpy
Ah, Naples, the quintessential Italian metropolis -- full of beauty, history...and trash? This formerly gorgeous vision of European tranquility is losing its luster because the place is literally covered in garbage. The city's landfills are so packed that garbage collectors are leaving bags of rubbish on the streets -- and to make matters worse, locals are protesting to prevent new landfills from being opened. But it's Sophia Loren to the rescue! The 73-year-old actress is imploring the people of her hometown to work together and clean the mess. She told Italian newspaper La Republica:
"I beg you, with my hands clasped in prayer, to multiply efforts to remedy this tragedy."
And let me tell you -- when an Oscar-winning actress begs you to do anything, you do it. So come on, people of Naples -- pick up that trash!
