Nick Squires, January 8, 2021 Some: Italian regional leaders are fighting against plans to dump nuclear waste in some of the most picturesque areas of the country.

The governors of the seven affected regions, including Piedmont, Puglia, Basilicata, Sardinia and Sicily, have accused the national government and SOGIN, Italy’s nuclear decommissioning agency, of failing to consult them. Italy closed down its nuclear power plants after a referendum in 1987 – held in the wake of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.

Manolo Garosi, the mayor of Pienza, a Tuscan hill town, said he was incredulous about the prospect of a nuclear dump being located in his region. How can they be considering a region like ours, which has World Heritage recognition? It is totally unacceptable. This is an area of natural beauty, he told
Corriere della Sera newspaper. I can t imagine what tourists would say when they come here looking for beauty and discover instead radioactive waste dumps. Domenico Bennardi, the mayor of Matera, said locating the dump near the town would be a slap in the face, particularly as it was a European City of Culture in 2019.
