The mayor of an Italian town has forbidden residents to die, because there is no cemetery to bury them, the Daily Telegraph reported.
據《每日電訊報》報道，意大利一座小城的市長近日下令稱，禁止當地居民死亡，因為沒有墓地埋葬他們。
Giulio Cesare Fava, the mayor of the small town Falciano del Massico located about 50 kilometers north of Naples, southern Italy, issued the order earlier this month stating: "It is forbidden for residents ... to go beyond the boundaries of earthly life and go into to the afterlife." So far only two elderly residents have disobeyed the edict since March 5.
意大利南部那不勒斯市以北50公里處的小城坎帕尼亞的市長朱里奧·希薩爾·法瓦，本月初發布命令：“禁止當地居民……脫離人世，進入極樂世界。”從3月5日至今，當地只有兩位居民違反了法瓦的禁令。
The unusual order follows a dispute with a neighboring town, which has owned the old cemetery since local boundaries were redrawn in 1964. The two communities disagree about a planned expansion of the site, so Mr Fava pulled out of the project and decided to build a new cemetery for Falciano del Massico's 4000 living residents.
這項不同尋常的命令源于該鎮與鄰鎮在舊墓地上的分歧。自1964年當地的邊界被重新劃過之后，舊的墓地由鄰鎮擁有。因為無法就計劃進行的墓地擴展項目達成協議，法瓦宣布退出，同時決定為本鎮4000名在世的居民建立新墓地。
