A work of public and private synergy.Erich Lucchetti: if it were up to me, Carrara would be full of marble statuesCarrara.The redevelopment and renovation of the sidewalk of the Central station adjacent to the sports hall has been completed.Paved with shining Carrara marble and embellished with new plants, the new floor, of about 450 square meters (the restyling cost over 121 thousand euros), is the result of teamwork, demonstrating that work between public and private can often lead to quality results.«This sidewalk is made to last - explained the commissioner for public works, Andrea Raggi - Other sidewalks in the city, albeit made of marble, have proved unsuitable to stand the test of time.For this reason, we have used 4 cm thick materials, much more robust, but at the same time not so easy to find.However, we are satisfied in being able to offer the city the completed work, which took longer than expected, but which was designed to last over the years and remain available to the community.I thank the companies Furrer, Bruno Lucchetti marmi e graniti and Giacomo Giannarelli for their indispensable contribution, very useful not only materially, but also to overcome those bureaucratic delays, which can sometimes occur when certain interventions are made ».Could the relationship between public and private also be a future solution?We ask the councilor.«Certainly yes, in a moment like this - answered Raggi - It must however be analyzed in different moments.When there is a crisis, the public sector, by purchasing marble goods, can act as a driving force.When companies are doing well, I can help the Municipality (often intertwined in bureaucracy) to resolve various issues more quickly.We as a municipality, with our own strength, would not have been able to do such an important job as that of Avenza.Together, however, we have done something that will last for years to come ».The sidewalk is also equipped with the Loges paths, that is to say those reliefs perceptible under the soles of shoes, useful for the blind to find their way around and recognize more easily how to move.A "tactile" path that is part of the demolition of architectural barriers, but well integrated with the urban decor, between restored marble benches and new lime trees, similar to those present on the "sea side" sidewalk of via Giovanpietro.Even the former regional leader of the Five Star Movement, Giacomo Giannarelli, who contributed to the cause with 6,500 euros of his severance pay as regional councilor, said he was satisfied with the work completed: "I am very proud to have given my contribution for the realization of this flooring for Avenza.I went to school at the ex-Gil and therefore I have indelible bonds and memories in that area ».«Like Furrer - the company explained - we try to be involved in contributing to the good of the Carrarese community.When we were contacted to participate in this project, we took the opportunity to gladly give our support, for a job that over the years will have a great aesthetic and functional impact ».«I am pleased that the work is finished - added Erich Lucchetti of Bruno Lucchetti marble and granite - It is right that our territory, as far as possible, has things well done and well maintained.I hope this work will be maintained over time and I would like these things to be done where there is a need.Through art.21 we are doing good things and we are in favor of committing ourselves to the territory.If it were up to me, Carrara would be full of statues and marble pavements.However, things must be done slowly, in proportion and with shared objectives ".© REPRODUCTION RESERVEDSAE Group (SAPERE AUDE EDITORI) SpA, Viale Vittorio Alfieri n.9 - 57124 Livorno - PI 01954630495The rights of the images and texts are reserved.Their reproduction by any means and total or partial adaptation is expressly prohibited.
