Naples set to sue city slanderers

(ANSA) - Naples, April 18 - Naples is set to sue anyone it finds guilty of defaming the southern Italian city.
    The city council has set up an online site called Defend the City where Neapolitans can report anyone they think is unduly badmouthing their home town.
    "For some time, and ever more often, we have seen a distorted and sometimes defamatory narration of the city of Naples, making it the target of prejudice, stereotypes and harmful generalisations," the site says.
    Mayor Luigi de Magistris said "it isn't that we can't take criticism which we need, or that we want to spout propaganda, we only want to defend the city when anyone, whoever it is, makes a reconstruction that is not true".
