The latest cleanup followed other examples of joint neighbourhood cleanups involving different communities in Padua.

Similar activities were organised in September, including cleanups around Via Rubaltelli and the Stanga neighbourhood.

"Respect for different beliefs becomes especially meaningful when it is accompanied by cooperation," Arjona said.

The joint activities provide a practical example of how different communities can contribute to the same local objectives.
