Once a rural town, Vaiano Valle depopulated in the 20th century, and it is now one of the most degraded rural areas within Milan. Romani nomads have settled in several slums in the area, and have often had frictions with the local population as well as the city authorities.[2] The district is also plagued with environmental problems, such as ubiquitous, illegal rubbish dumps, and high crime rates.[3]
