Residents of Quisisana, Castellammare di Stabia, are calling for an end to fireworks that they say disturb public quiet.

The appeal, reported on 22 September 2026 by Metropolis Web under the headline "Basta coi fuochi d'artificio," is addressed to the prefectural commissioner. Two further local reports describe the same appeal as an open letter sent around 21 September 2026.

According to the reports, the complaint is not limited to fireworks. Residents also cite loud music, shouting, private parties and noise from commercial premises.

The residents describe fireworks allegedly used at different times of day and night despite restrictions. The reports present this as residents' testimony; they do not provide an independently verified count of incidents.

What residents are asking for

The reports say residents want existing rules enforced rather than merely introducing new legislation.

Their requests, as reported, include:

  • systematic checks by the Municipal Police
  • sanctions for violations
  • stronger measures against repeat-offending businesses
  • adoption of a public-quiet ordinance by the prefectural commissioner
  • beginning acoustic classification of the municipal territory

The reports refer to existing local rules, including references to a public-quiet ordinance and a 2010 urban-police regulation. The existence, current status and exact scope of those rules were not independently verified through an official municipal document in the research acquired.

A public-health concern

Residents frame prolonged noise exposure as a public-health concern, mentioning sleep disruption and cardiovascular effects. That framing is reported as the residents' position, not as a medical assessment of conditions in Quisisana.

What is not yet established

The reports attribute the allegations to residents and do not include a response from the prefectural commissioner, the Municipal Police or named businesses.

They do not establish how many fireworks incidents occurred, whether specific businesses violated regulations, or whether sanctions were issued.

The full text of the letter, including the names and number of signatories, was not available in the acquired page text.
