La Grotta Azzurra, as it is known in Italian, is celebrated for the intense blue tones of the water and the mysterious, silvery light thrown off by underwater rocks in the cave. In the 1st century AD, the Emperor Tiberius liked to retire to the grotto to swim and cool off during the hottest days of summer.
But the cave's problems have been brewing since reports that two employees of a waste disposal firm at Castellamare di Stabia, near Naples, had dumped 5,000 litres of raw cesspool sewage in the grotto using hoses. The firm has the contract for the disposal of waste from homes and hotels on the island to sewage treatment plants in the area."
This is MADNESS.

Even if proven, there probably won't be a real prosecution.
I suppose it's one reason a person would not want to visit that part of Italy. - 2 years ago

Sewage is full of methane, potential energy. We need to burn our methane. Unfortunetly most people don't know about biodigesters, so many people throw our energy away, often at the cost of the environment. The whole world needs to know about biodigesters. Biodigesters, chemurgy and industrial hemp will help save the whole world and many beautiful places like, "The Blue Grotto".
