Sophia Loren makes Naples less dumpy

Ah, Naples, the quintessential Italian metropolis — full of beauty, history…and trash? that previously gorgeous vision of European tranquility is losing its luster considering the place is literally covered in rubbish. The city’s landfills are so packed that rubbish collectors are leaving bags of rubbish on the streets — and to build 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 public 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 that tragedy.”

And let me tell you — when an Oscar-winning actress begs you to do anything, you do it. So come on, humans of Naples — pick up that trash!
