意大利南部一小城的市长本月初宣布“禁止居民离开尘世,走向后世”,因为他们没有墓地了。之所以宣布这样一条奇特的命令,是因为该市与邻市之间因为一座老墓地产生了纠纷。双方在扩建这座墓地的问题上产生分歧,所以市长决定终止合作,为4000多名本城居民建造一个新的墓地。市长命令,在新墓地竣工前,每一名居民都必须继续活着。到目前为止,只有两位居民违反了该命令。
The mayor of a small town in southern Italy has forbidden residents to die, because there is no cemetery for them to be buried in。
Giulio Cesare Fava, the mayor of Falciano del Massico, located about 50km north of Naples, southern Italy, issued the order earlier this month stating, "it is forbidden for residents ... to go beyond the boundaries of earthly life, to go into to the afterlife"。
So far only two residents have disobeyed the edict, La Stampa newspaper reported, with two recorded deaths since March 5.
The unusual order follows a dispute with a neighboring town, which has owned the old cemetery since local boundaries were redrawn in 1964.
The two communities disagree about a planned expansion of the site, so Mr Fava pulled out of the project and decided to build a new cemetery for Falciano del Massico's living 4000 residents。
But until he gains the right permits and builds the new final resting place, the townsfolk have been ordered to keep on living。
