Naples mayor won't ban Gomorra filming

(ANSA) - Naples, September 23 - Mayor of Naples Luigi de Magistris said Wednesday he will never ban filming on location of movies or screenplays about the city's Camorra crime gangs such as the second series of the television series Gomorra, based on the expose' about the Neapolitan mob by journalist Roberto Saviano.
    "I hate censorship and I will never say no to filming of a movie or a serial," he said, adding that he disassociates himself from "other colleagues who deny filming" of the series.
    "Naples is no longer the Gomorra described years ago by Saviano," the mayor claimed and the port city needs "a truth operation to describe the 1000 colours of the city".
    "They can film Gomorra in Naples and if anyone asks me if that is Naples I reply no, without being a denier because there are gangs of Camorristi who control areas, but to say that today Naples is Gomorra is a falsehood operation. There is still black and gray but also a lot of light".
