Chiaiano
Chiaiano is a north-western quarter of Naples, with a population of about 23,000.
Geography
Chiaiano is a hilly and wooded area that lies between Camaldoli and the Campi Flegrei.
History
Archaeologically, the area is of interest, displaying remnants of pre-and-non-Roman inhabitants such as the Oscans and Samnites.
Since the earthquake of 1980, it is one of the outlying areas that has undergone extreme urbanization—that is, large tracts of public housing to provide for those left homeless by that event.
In 2008, No Dal Molin protested the opening of a refuse tip in the quarries between Chiaiano and Marano.[1]
Twin towns
It is twinned with Manhattan, the commercial quarter of New York[citation needed] and has received the certificate of calmer quarter of the city.

The protests against the opening of a refuse tip in the quarries located between the Chiaiano district in Naples and the town of Marano started at the beginning of 2008. These, together with other similar protests, were set in the context of the so-called emergenza rifiuti ('trash emergency') in Campania that broke out towards the end of 2007, when the city streets were filled with garbage because of the saturation of the working refuse tips .... The No Dal Molin participated in the demonstration of 1 June in Chiaiano (Naples), in solidarity with the anti-dump protest (R 2 June 2008).
