Doesn’t seem like much of a solution to the faux energy problem.

In 1966, I saw the infamous street kids of Naples, known as scugnizzi, in action. I was sitting at a red light on a narrow street in behind a flatbed truck loaded with crates of tomatoes as the car radio blared Sognando la California, when a group of scugnizzi darted out, grabbed a couple of crates off the truck, then darted into an alleyway.

I suspect there are not that many trees in the area, and the trees that are there are on private land. Also, you need aged, dead wood to burn properly.

Italy is not like here is the NW, where there are many places on gov't land where citizens are permitted to cut fallen trees for fuel. All you need is a pickup truck and a chain saw.

One reason for the decline of the Spanish Empire was the near total deforestation of Spain. They cut down so many trees to build their ships that they literally couldn't find material for new ships.

When some wood meets your eye in a big pizza pie,
that's a morte
. . . .

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli, that's a morte...
