Depressed, the country without telephone or Internet. A question was asked in Parliament to resolve the problem of the absence of field

There is a hamlet, in Tricase, in lower Salento, where the Internet and the telephone line are only a mirage. The name itself, Repubblica explains, is of no use. We are talking about Depressa, about fifteen hundred inhabitants who survive without a camp. This would be the perfect idea to escape the chaos of the city if the lack of signal does not create many problems for electronic payment circuits. The matter therefore ended up before Parliament. According to the newspaper, Andrea Caroppo, head of the Forza Italia group in the IX Commission of Transport, Posts and Telecommunications of the Chamber of Deputies, filed a question to request a solution from the Ministry of Productive Activities, headed by Adolfo Urso. The only place you “pia bonu” (take your cell phone well) is in the town square. “It must be due to the proximity of the church and to God who works miracles – ironically explains to Repubblica the director Edoardo Winspeare, who has lived in Depressa for years – we see citizens climbing the terraces, arriving in the square , exchanging information by word of mouth and suggesting a place where you can communicate on the phone. It's a paradoxical situation, we already live in a country that doesn't really have the best name if you add similar disadvantages to it.”
