Gianfranco Miconi is the most vocal opponent of the construction of Italy's first private port. He lives in Fiumicino, near Rome, where American giant Royal Caribbean has begun building a huge cruise port. The project threatens not only the city's entire ecosystem, but also the peace and quiet of its residents.
