10.30 – Xavier Sticchi Damiani speaks at a press conference updating the Lecce world on the topic of Via del Mare and Mediterranean Games.
10.45 – Start the conference with a premise.
“We are talking about structural interventions on our stadium not because we have archived the sporting part, absolutely not. There is a little bit missing from achieving another extraordinary result in an excellent path. We are all concentrated, an important week begins today, an extremely delicate clash on Sunday. Today we allow ourselves to talk about structures because the issues relating to the Mediterranean Games depend on the Government. We allow ourselves a digression, but it is not a way to distract ourselves from sporting issues because it depends on us and we can talk about it whenever we want “.
Goes on.
“Some time ago we preferred a low profile, avoiding renderings: the only objective was to obtain financing for the stadium. The first step has been achieved, there is a ministerial decree with a master plan and the first step of works for the Via del Mare has been approved. All that is missing is the approval of the Court of Auditors, they tell us a formality. We have achieved the first step through a serious process; we have prepared a technical-economic feasibility study at our own expense, entrusted to our technicians trust profound experts of the stadium present today in the front row: engineer Quarta Colosso, Marsano and architect Maghenzani We decided to donate this project to the municipality which then transferred it to the committee organizing the Games. Thanks to this process, we brought home the first step. We have kept this feasibility study confidential, today we offer you a short video on the restyling of Via del Mare. From our point of view, the stadium is beautiful both for its history and its architecture”.
