NAPLES, Italy — Neither hope nor exasperation drive Gennaro Nasti to proclaim Naples’ trash woes will end Wednesday.

He says he’s compelled by necessity.

"The worst has passed. … It has to end Wednesday," said Nasti, who serves as representative of the Naples Energy and Environment Agency to a trash crisis committee created by Rosa Russo Jervolino, Naples’ mayor.

"Time has run out. There is no more time for talk. It’s time for action. … There’s no choice," he said. "With the weather heating up, we have to solve this problem this week. Period."

On Wednesday, recently elected Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi will hold the first meeting of his new Cabinet in Naples, fulfilling a campaign promise to focus governmental attention on the trash crisis that has debilitated this southern Italian city.
