At yesterday’s city council meeting – Tuesday 23 April – the regulation concerning the municipalities of the municipality of Corigliano-Rossano. They will be there are seven municipalities in the municipal territory and the regulation will be made up of seven articles which are the result of a process that starts from the municipal statute, approved just over a year ago, to arrive at the work of the General Affairs Commission chaired by the councilor Domenico Rotondowhich he illustrated yesterday, after the introduction of the deputy mayor Maria Salimbenithe result of the mediations between all its components.

The Municipality of Schiavonea-Fabrizio, the Municipality of Amica-Toscano, the Municipality of Cantinella-Apollinara, the municipalities of the two historic centers and so on: with the municipalities we reverse the logic of institutional verticalisation, giving even more dignity to the territories”.
