In Tuscany, there are streetsweepers whose job it is to clean up after everyone else--dog poop, water bottles, newspapers. All the flotsam residents can't be bothered to throw in trash bins themselves.
In the south, there don't seem to be any hired streetsweepers, and the difference is noticeable. While American tourists get most of the blame, I saw all the evidence to the contrary: locals burning piles of garbage, sifting trash out their car doors or hauling black garbage bags to dump at scenic overlooks along the Amalfi Coast highway. This can't ALL be the mafia's fault.
They seriously need a crying Indian commercial or Lady Bird Johnson here...
