National Alpine gathering, public and private schools closed for two days

No mornings at school on the opening days of the National Gathering of the Alpines 2024, which will be held in Vicenza city from May 10th to 12th. In which a crowd of 400 thousand people is expected in three days. In the imminence of the great event dedicated to black feathersofficial confirmation arrives of the decision to suspend school lessons for all pupils and students, including university students.

He had suggested it Prefect of Vicenza, which is responsible for the general coordination for the management of public order, with a directive from the Berico mayor Giacomo Possamai, who signed the specific ordinance this morning. On Friday 10 May, backpacks and school bags will remain at home, as will those who carry them on their shoulders every day, and the same goes for Saturday, even if here the number of over 10 thousand students in classes is greatly reduced.

The main motivation, behind the proposal to suspend lessons, lies in the real need to be able to take advantage of the means of public transport for the Alpine groups and other visitors to Vicenza and the surrounding area for the rally. With the accommodation facilities in the city sold out, there are many “booked” people who have taken accommodation in the province or in other Venetian cities and who will reach Vicenza day by day. Last year, the National Gathering took place in Udine, the 2025 meeting will instead be in Biella.

“As per the request of the prefecture – we read in the note from the Municipality released this morning to the local press – today the mayor signed an ordinance which orders the closure of all schools in the Municipality of Vicenza of all levels, public and private, including The nurseries, nursery schools, university institutes and the Conservatory on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th May”. Even with regards to the circulation of cars, it is well known that ordinary roads will undergo changes and limitations.
