Della Ragione acknowledges a cultural battle: people need education about littering.
For years, Mare Libero activists have held flashmobs and beach occupations.
Donn'Anna beach near Naples had been gated since 1999, accessible only at the discretion of a lido manager.
Of its 4,490 sq meters, only 290 were free. Mare Libero waged a campaign, organizing sit-ins and winning a court case.
In February 2026, the Campania regional administrative court upheld their cause, making Donn'Anna freely accessible. The group hopes to replicate this victory along the peninsula.
Della Ragione offers a socialist optimism: his battle for beach access is part of re-commoning all town council land.

“The sum of every small victory,” he says, “is a more just society.”
