The value of the copper it has always been very high and this has led to the continuous thefts of this precious material. That’s what happened in Naples on the via Marittima, precisely in via Acton, in the Gallery Victory when it was under renovation.

Work on the Naples tunnel, which began last August, involved the refurbishment of a new New Jersey road surface. Works worth 2 million euros.

The reopening of the Vittoria Gallery took place on 19 December after a 15-month interruption to facilitate the turbulent traffic of the days before the holidays.
“I hope we will be able to resolve everything as soon as possible in 3-4 days, we should be able to fix the implant ventilation. The problem is to understand if there are other critical issues: if during the removal of the cables the thieves have done other damage. We will only be able to see this the day after tomorrow ”.

It is certainly paradoxical that they manage to steal a kilometer and a half of cables in the center. We have made every effort to get the material to arrive quickly to help the city, usually it takes much longer to deliver “.
