Flea market vendors pay up to 100 euros for a skull with white teeth. A rib cage with all the ribs in place could bring up to 300 euros.

p. 287
The Giugliano - Villaricca - Qualiano triangle near Naples has come to be known as the Land of Fires. Thirty-nine landfills, twenty-seven of which contain hazardous waste. An area with a 30 percent annual increase in landfills. When as site approaches capacity, the trash is set on fire.
p. 296
[Gypsy boys] circumscribe each hill with videocasette tapes, pour alcohol and gas all over it, twist the tape ends to form an enormous fuse, then move away, putting a cigarette lighter to the fuse. In a few seconds there's a forest of flames, as if they'd launched napalm bombs. [...] Dense black smoke and flames contaminate every inch of land with dioxins.
p. 296
If all the trash, according to the Italian environmental group Legambiente, escapes official inspection were collected in one place, it would form a mountain weighing 14 million tons and rising 47,900 feet from a base of 3 hectares. Mont Blanc rises 15,780 feet, Everest 29,015.
