Storia di una colonna infame

This paper tells a story of a farmer family; they lived in the historic center of Naples. They disappear after build a new highway, an orbital road called Tangenziale S.P.A. Urban highways were justified by with some form of cost-benefit analysis. But, analysis ignored important secondary effects such as the adverse impact of the new road on surrounding property values or the environmental costs that are generated by new induced traffic. The community's life changes forever; they become workers in new flats. The flats was a building where they had farmland and pastures.
