The Italian city of Naples has been the stronghold of mafia known as Camora for a long time.

It is very difficult for young people living in the neglected Naples neighbourhoods  to find job opportunities.

Tensions between police and youths on the streets have become part of everyday life there.

A new boxing project for the young, which takes place in the hallway of  the Santa Maria della Sanita church, was started by Father Antonio Loffredo several years ago.

He believes the sport can teach young people rules they can use in everyday life, too.  

WORDS
stronghold: a place which is dominated by a particular group of people.
neglected: without care or attention.
