Port Mantua, take, turn. Before returning underground, according to the plan approved by the Government 10 months ago still willing to fully reopen to traffic Corso della Vittoria, the seventeenth-century ruins overlooking Piazza Garibaldi will be filmed. Has therefore become a video documentary of a historical and archaeological future use for educational and informational purposes. So in fact the City has agreed with the Superintendent with a view to bury the ruins brought to light in 2004 thanks to a restoration cost € 85 thousand hours by a poor and afflicted them is slowly eroding.
Having already allocated in the program of public works in 2010 to 175 thousand Euros needed to cover what the city has now been renamed 'busa', the Government has identified the directors of a special film that will hand down to posterity one of the few remaining examples of Legnago a time. The choice fell on the Valley Archaeological Society (SAP) of Mantua: the same team of professionals, who in 2003 had conducted the survey on behalf of the Municipality of the structures on the western gate of the ancient fortified city under the direction of archaeologist Bruno Bruno core operating Verona Superintendence of Veneto. All this against a charge of € 9.36 million.
Statements councilor ( From The Arena, Friday, January 28, 2011)
"The video in question, which will document the current status of the excavation," says Paolo Longhi, Councillor for Public Works , "is one of the conditions set by the Superintendent to break ground for the upgrading of the first section of the course with a restoration of the road stopped six years ago." "After this stage," concludes Longhi, "we hope to start with the work in early summer. With the advantage of avoiding the ongoing costs of maintenance of the bricks. "SN
Comment:
The Councillor Longhi, after almost two years, said openly what was the objective of ' elimination of Mantua Door " restore viability stopped six years ago." Until now, this objective could easily understand, but it was never recognized by the majority as the true reason for the decision ahistorical and anti-cultural. So far, the main argument in defense of the decision was "the gradual disintegration of the material in brick." Already more Sometimes in the past, I had the opportunity, in this blog, pointing out that the real purpose of the administration of the League was to reopen to traffic the first part of the course of Victory and the cost of maintenance of the bricks which is a flake false problem.
False for several reasons:
1. Why not show that the current administration has made restoration of the terracotta
2. because about two years ago the authority had authorized in writing to replace the City deteriorated paving brick with new brick the same shape, color and size. Thus maintenance would be reduced almost completely. On the other hand, all the works (monuments, palaces, houses, roads ...) to be stored and "enjoyed" in need of maintenance, and therefore have a cost.
The real reason is that it is believed that the preservation of relics of the past has no value. If there is this belief (and there) is useless - I recalled in a previous post - any attempt at persuasion.
I had hoped, I confess, that a classical education made the Councillor for Public Works could do the miracle, bringing to the fore the historical and cultural memory of the past. You see, unfortunately, that the frequency is not enough. Need a little 'culture and sensitivity.
Nor need to "save their souls," the fig leaf, however costly, imposed by the Superintendent of the movie on the excavations.
