(CNN) -- Italy faces legal action over the waste crisis that has left piles of garbage rotting on the streets around the southern city of Naples.

The European Commission said Tuesday that the uncollected trash -- which started piling up shortly after Christmas -- posed a threat to the environment and human health and left Italy in breach of European Union rules on waste disposal.

Wonder if they put this in the tourist brochures?

You see? This is what happens when you stamp down on the Mafia - best to pay your "insurance", in case something like this happens.

Angry residents in Naples have attacked firefighters trying to extinguish burning garbage in the trash collection crisis in the southern Italian city, authorities said Saturday.

Firefighters said the residents threw stones at them overnight and in one case attacked them with fire extinguishers. No injuries were reported.

Interesting that you know the correct terminology Kittin........... in the "war on crime" that must mean youre involved, right?

Although, it could just be a load of rubbish.
