Wedge. The Cuneo municipal councilor for common goods Ugo Sturlese returns to ask the mayor Patrizia Manassero regarding the issue of restoration of Villa Invernizzi. It does so after the latest maintenance interventions on the building carried out by the municipal administration in recent days, in particular the repair of the roof of the main body of the building (but not of the adjacent low building on the north side) and the removal of the ivy which extensively covered the external walls (which now show some albeit limited cracks), also leaving a pile of logs in the small courtyard on the east side.
Interventions which, according to Sturlese, are absolutely not satisfactory, also because a few days later a new breakage of a glass window in the building was detected which again allows access to the villa by strangers for illegal overnight stays. Despite these interventions, Sturlese underlines how the view of the building suggests a building in conditions of partial degradation, of which no indication, not even a brief one, is given regarding the historical-cultural and symbolic value which it represents for the city and which makes it worthy of particular protection, as prescribed by the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage of Piedmont.
Since the restoration of the building, 98-99% owned by the Municipality, was inserted within a complex urban planning intervention (Variation 35 to the PRG) which will require a long time before being implemented and completed and that for some years now the minority group, together with the Neighborhood Committee, the management of the Historical Institute of the Resistance and some environmentalist associations, have been asked to intervene as much as possible soon to restore the villa, Sturlese officially asks the mayor if she has no intention of reviewing the restoration tool in question. In this case it would be a question of requiring the administration to direct payment of charges for urbanization works in the Piazza Parri area for over 1 million three hundred thousand euros, which had to be “paid at the time of granting the building permit (as per the regulations)” of the first lot built by the concessionary company and in any case in the following years, since in the meantime the Municipality had already intervened on the area in question.
Sturlese also asks the mayor to find out whether, in order to prevent access to outsiders who may contribute to the deterioration of the building or even to its definitive compromise (see fires which occurred in Palazzo Chiodo), they do not intend make the building safe by surrounding it with the fence commonly used for works in progress. Finally, he would like to know whether the administration does not intend to inform citizens (with adequate signage on site) about the aims of the intervention to conserve the historical resistance and anti-fascist memory, which constitutes the founding and significant value of our community, as recalled by the President of the Republic on his recent visit.
