Roberto Benigni in his underwear (for Woody Allen's new film) and the city's dirty laundry both on display (because of Mayor Alemanno and Assessor Bordoni's policies)



Does anyone realize what kind of city will be seen in the movie Woody Allen is making these days? A city swamped by the mafia of illegal billboards. Look at the background of this scene where 10 1x1 meter billboards are visible. All of them are illegal, they are all horrible and they are in Rome's first municipality, a Unesco World Heritage site. All should be removed to restore Via Veneto's lost dignity.
What we really need is for a New York's great director to say something against these billboards. We say this because our readers log in from everywhere including film studios. Wouldn't it be great if he simply said "you can't film anything in Rome without including a billboard. In New York at least it's only Times Square. How can you live like that?"
Such an exclamation could help us bring this modern-day Sack of Rome to an international public.
We already know that many production companies (mostly in advertising) are already avoiding Rome because of its visual pollution. It wouldn't be a bad thing if Mr. Allen let everyone know about this disgusting crap on every sidewalk, the movies would flee as well.
Go on, Woody. Give a nice kick in the ass to our governing officials that crawl like lemmings onto your set to kiss your hand! And these visual obstacle to your work aren't simply advertisements or visual pollution but organized crime.

It would make a good movie!
