Vucciria: paving stones dug up for year

After the crumbling of several buildings in the neglected Vucciria, the city has finally decided to spend some time and money fixing the historic market site up. It will take a year, with a firm that "works very fast", to pull up the limestone paving stones, work on the light and telephone cables and fix up the sewage system, then replace the original cobblestones, known as "le balate."
