Marigliano hosted the national assembly of Aisa, the Associazione Italiana Sicurezza Ambientale, at Hotel Elio, bringing volunteers focused on two connected problems in the Neapolitan hinterland: illegal dumping and mistreated animals.
According to Il Mattino Napoli, the association's volunteers monitor peripheral areas affected by illegal waste disposal, intervene to protect mistreated animals, and work alongside public institutions. Its stated approach combines enforcement and prevention, including public education about the consequences of environmental offences.
The article reports 12,000 Aisa members nationally, including 4,000 in Campania. Those figures are presented by the primary report and have not been independently confirmed through an accessible official Aisa source.
Aisa's president is identified as Giovanni Cimmino. The report also describes collaboration with institutional representatives, including Biagio Chiariello of the Caserta Provincial Police.
The association intends to open a new local outpost in Villaricca, following the model described for Qualiano.
The pairing of waste and animal welfare is not new in Campania. A separate case documented by LAV involved an illegal waste-strewn site where animals were kept in severe conditions, requiring intervention by forestry, veterinary and law-enforcement personnel. That 2014 case is distinct from the Marigliano assembly and does not describe Aisa's current activity.
