In Sorrento, concerns have emerged regarding the preservation and safety of local sites. Initially, the ancient Villa Romana di Agrippa Postumo faced issues with litter and waste left by visitors following the opening of a new pedestrian beach access. Later reports shifted focus to urban decay on Corso Italia, where a private property has been abandoned for approximately fifteen years due to an inheritance dispute. Residents and business owners have reported significant public safety and health risks stemming from this neglect, including fire hazards from overgrown vegetation, pest infestations, and structural decay of the property’s gate and pergola. Recent developments highlight ongoing challenges with urban decorum and maintenance. On Via San Cesareo, the removal of old waste containers during an urban furniture renewal project has created a service gap, leading to increased littering by tourists. Residents have called for the timely installation of new receptacles to preserve the city’s aesthetic. Additionally, the Vallone dei Mulini, a deep urban canyon near Piazza Tasso containing ruins of a 17th-century stone mill and a water-powered sawmill, remains a key historical and natural site under management.
