意大利南部一小城的市長(zhǎng)本月初宣布“禁止居民離開(kāi)塵世，走向后世”，因?yàn)樗麄儧](méi)有墓地了。之所以宣布這樣一條奇特的命令，是因?yàn)樵撌信c鄰市之間因?yàn)橐蛔夏沟禺a(chǎn)生了糾紛。雙方在擴(kuò)建這座墓地的問(wèn)題上產(chǎn)生分歧，所以市長(zhǎng)決定終止合作，為4000多名本城居民建造一個(gè)新的墓地。市長(zhǎng)命令，在新墓地竣工前，每一名居民都必須繼續(xù)活著。到目前為止，只有兩位居民違反了該命令。

The mayor of a small town in southern Italy has forbidden residents to die, because there is no cemetery for them to be buried in.

The mayor of a small town in southern Italy has forbidden residents to die, because there is no cemetery for them to be buried in.

Giulio Cesare Fava, the mayor of Falciano del Massico, located about 50km 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, to go into to the afterlife".

So far only two residents have disobeyed the edict, La Stampa newspaper reported, with two recorded deaths since March 5.

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 living 4000 residents.

But until he gains the right permits and builds the new final resting place, the townsfolk have been ordered to keep on living.
