EspañolMARIGLIANO
'Marigliano' is a town in the province of Naples, (Campania, Italy) located 25 km from Naples. Officially it has a population of 30,578 as of the end of 2004, with a density of 1377 people per square kilometer. At the 2001 census the municipality had a population of 30,083 inhabitants and a land area of 22.60 km² (8.726 sq mi).
Nearby towns include: Acerra, Brusciano, Mariglianella, Nola, San Vitaliano, Scisciano, Somma Vesuviana.
In October 2000, the Italian Parliament approved the findings of a commission which studied Camorra activities in Campania. According to this source, Marigliano is firmly under the control of the Camorra, in particular the group led by Antonio Capasso. This group took advantage of the efforts of law enforcement that eliminated its main enemy, a Camorra group led by the Mazzarella family that was located in Ponte Citra, a district of Marigliano.
Social life and economic activities are strongly influenced by the Camorra. One of the main activities is the illegal treatment of industrial and urban waste in the Marigliano countryside, a large region containing Nola, Acerra and Marigliano itself.
The scientific journal ''The Lancet Oncology'' published a 2004 study by the Italian researcher Alfredo Mazza, a physiologist at the Italian CNR (Centro Nazionale per la Ricerca); this study revealed the terrible situation in the countryside around Marilgiano and the negative impact on its people's health. He demonstrated that deaths due to cancer are much higher than average in that region relative to the European average, dubbing it the "''Death Triangle''".
