Talking about protest books also means proposing books that talk about the issues of this century, and mainly about the environment. Mattia Marzorati presents the environmental criticalities that poison the province of Brescia, which are exceptionally numerous and diverse in nature, make this area a representative case for understanding how current development models are absolutely unsustainable and destructive to the environment and people. The lack of laws regulating waste disposal, mafia infiltration and the pursuit of maximum profit by industrialists have over time created an apparently efficient economic system but with disastrous consequences for the territory and its inhabitants. The incidence of tumours and other pathologies is much higher here than in the rest of the country; in addition, the province can boast the presence of one of the largest incinerators in Europe, an enormous concentration of landfills, the highest number of radioactive sites and intensive livestock farms in Italy (there are more pigs than inhabitants), one of the two worst PCB contaminations ever recorded in the world.
