2 Gomorrah: edits to the script to insert positive heroes

After the polemics of the last days between the municipality of Scampia and producers of fiction 2 Gomorrah, which naturally also involves the writer Saviano, due to the denial of the president of the municipality Pisani shooting in the neighborhood, the situation seems to settle. Indeed, the script of the series has been modified not to give a negative image of the situation in the neighborhood.

Gianluca Arcopinto of Cattleya film, general organizer of the production, explained that three have been included "positive heroes“, Ordinary people who are not part of organized crime. It is a father of a little boy, a street vendor from the neighborhood and another character linked to the territory. Furthermore, as previously announced, police will not be included.

All this was done to meet the criticism of the inhabitants Scampia who felt criminalized and unjustly accused of living in a neighborhood where, it seemed, houses only the Camorra. The production wanted to demonstrate that most of the residents are made up of decent people.

The producer, however, if he wanted to understand and listen to citizenship, he expressed himself in a negative way against Pisani. According to him, the president of the Municipality only wanted to exploit the story taking advantage of “the media explosion to end up on the front pages of national newspapers. From his point of view, he got what he wanted ”.

Instead, referring to the anti-Saviano banner that some associations they had exhibited during the assembly organized to discuss whether or not to shoot the fiction, Arcopinto declared that he considered it "unfair to the writer who certainly cannot be responsible for the evils of the neighborhood". In fact, in the days following the fact, the polemics against Pisani, who had granted permission to display the banner, were so hard that this decision has generated some fractures between those who are opposed to fiction, but who are not against the Neapolitan writer.
