The restoration and completion works of the former Albergo dei Poveri of Modica Alta have been handed over to the EdilZeta company of Modica. The amount of the works is 3 million euros from PNRR funds. “Another intervention that comes with a PNRR Urban Regeneration loan – declares the mayor, Maria Monisteri -. 3 million euros are intended to restore luster and light to the former Albergo dei Poveri. The duration of the works is expected to be 545 days and the contract is entrusted to the EdilZeta company. Another step forward in the process we are carrying out to give new life to Modica’s historic buildings. The revitalization of Modica Alta also involves the redevelopment of strategic works such as the former Albergo dei Poveri”.
“Not only is it a structure full of history and symbolic for the city of Modica – states the councilor for Public Works, Antonio Drago – but it will become the ‘home’ of many young people who will find spaces suitable for their activities in those places. In fact, reading rooms, coworking spaces, multimedia rooms and much more will be built. Activities such as co-planning, sharing and socialization will be encouraged within this structure which will bring many young people to experience Modica Alta. I believe that this is the right way to bring these neighborhoods back to life: redevelop all our historic buildings and give them back to the City; this is how upper Modica lives again. We are already doing it with Palazzo Denaro Papa and now, with today’s delivery of the works, we can also say it for the former Albergo dei Poveri”.
