Today in the newspapers. Bellelli’s farewell after twenty years as a public administrator. The house of the center right is open Current affairs

Ample space at the beginning is reserved in today’s Gazzetta for the farewell speech of Alberto Bellelli to the last municipal council of its mandate. Where memories, autobiographical notes, political balance sheets overlapped to connect not only the two five-year years as Mayor, but also the ten years as city councilor and then as councillor, first for Culture and subsequently for Social Services. Twenty years, therefore, retraced by recalling the intense confrontations in the city council (in particular with the exponent of the communist Rifondazione, Massimo Valentini), but also deeply marked by the management of the earthquake and then, as Mayor, of the pandemic, with the resigned acceptance of the role of target (“When something goes well it is thanks to the community, when something goes wrong it is the Mayor’s fault”) and with the regret of not having been able to be close to his growing daughter at all times, compensated only by the confidence of having lost those moments to help build a better future for her too. Before moving on to recalling the best moments experienced over the course of all of them these years – the meeting with Pope Bergoglio, an April 25 spent with Sergio Mattarella, the visit of Ursula Von der Leyen with David Sassoli – he reiterated his opposition to the three mandates (“Change is good”), he thanked everyone, starting from the municipal apparatus, he said he was certain of leaving a sustainable city, which has found its place in the world with the Union and the dialogue with the other three Municipalities and reminded the three mayoral candidates that the job of First Citizen also involves loneliness and a strong weight of responsibility, wishing them, at the same time, to find themselves with one less Covid and one less post-earthquake reconstruction.

Il Carlino dedicates its opening to the conference on renewable energy communities held at the Tecnopolo in via Corbolani on 9 April, during which the councilor Riccardo Righi announced the start of the process to establish the first of these in Carpi and the surrounding areas, with the characteristic, therefore, of an inter-municipal structure. The first step will be to gather the necessary support – private citizens, businesses, public administrations – to create an energy sharing system in the future that allows, in addition to a participatory and sustainable energy transition, to benefit from energy production from photovoltaic panels even to those who do not have them. The other interventions focused on the regulatory and management problems of renewable energy communities while with the intervention of the head of the research and development area, Isabella Debbiaengineer, Aimag said it was available to provide management, technical and organizational support.

Both newspapers then carry the report of the inauguration, which took place yesterday morning in Corso Cabassi, of the new headquarters of the electoral committee which supports the candidacy for the centre-right of Annalisa Arletti. The Honorable attended the ribbon cutting Daniela Dondi, of Fratelli d’Italia, elected in Modena, while the event served to reiterate the need for three large car parks close to the historic centre, the need for more PL agents in the streets and fewer in the offices, the regulation of rents in the center for commercial activities, setting a ceiling on rents and providing incentives for new developments. On this occasion it was also learned that, in addition to the four coalition lists, only one other will be in the field, that of Arletti Sindaco, while the other civic lists that had been discussed in recent days will merge into Forza Italia.
