Planned obsolescence- not in Naples. Sometimes the older technologies work best- if it ain't broke... Here, we see the bucket system employed in the Centro Storico district, probably centuries old. It's very simple and practical: tie a basket to a rope and lower to the street. Saves the .05 Euros you'd spend on the metered elevators (I don't know if its commonplace, but the elevator was metered at the hostel.) ... And ALWAYS hang the laundry out to dry on the line- saves energy, smells good and it's good for the environment.
