"This is the monster that killed my son." Those are the words of Aurelio Rebuzzi, whose 14-year fight against Italy's largest steel plant has just culminated in a historic court victory.
Italy's highest court has upheld an order to shut down the blast furnaces at the steelworks in Taranto, a plant long linked to pollution concerns and elevated cancer rates. But while some residents celebrate the ruling, others fear for thousands of jobs and the future of their city. We filmed this story shortly before the final verdict was announced. Was ordering the shutdown of the blast furnaces the right decision?

Your Arabic-language channel lacks credibility.<br>It has become a platform for the political agendas of the UAE and Morocco.<br>We demand an explanation ?!
In 2019, the European Court of Human Rights had already ruled that Italy had failed to protect Taranto residents from pollution linked to the ILVA steel plant. The court found that people's health had been put at risk and called for urgent action.
