About 30 of about 40 boxes at the covered market on Via Kerbaker in Vomero remain closed, according to Metropolis.

The issue was raised by Forza Italia representatives Iris Savastano, Antonio Culiers and Francesco Flores. They are seeking clarification on a 2011 municipal tender for 11 boxes at the market. What happened to that tender afterwards remains unclear.

During a recent inspection, the councillors reported water along the corridors and neglected sanitary facilities, according to Metropolis.

The councillors have proposed using the usable boxes for covered Christmas-market activities near Piazza Vanvitelli, Via Scarlatti and Via Luca Giordano. It remains unclear which boxes are currently usable and whether the proposal has been approved.

Naples classifies its markets into markets in dedicated premises and markets on public roads, according to the Comune di Napoli.
