Nunzia Cammino, resident:

If you come across a family of 15 wild boars, you can get scared.
The way to school can also be dangerous for teenagers.

Leonardo Zenobi, local resident:

In the spring, wild boars had eaten the contents of the shopping bags of a woman who was afraid to leave her goods to the animals.
