Continue the project “We are future citizens” from the “Cassano” primary school, which involves fourth grade students and is led by teacher Carmelo Bacco with all the teachers. Thursday 2 May new stop at Palazzo di Città. In the council chamber, in the presence of the education councilor Christian Farella and the deputy mayor Marianna Legistamet the general secretary of the Municipality of Bitonto, Salvatore Bonasia, who explained his role. The secretary of a municipality – he said – is a man of the state, with the task of ensuring good organization for mayors and councilors, coordinating the various services of the municipality. He carries out functions equal to those of a notary but municipal: regarding the sale or purchase of public furnishings, such as school desks and chairs, his signature is required. He must always be present at city council meetings. He also ensures that there is no corruption in any act, office or contract, and he is also required to organize training courses to prevent and prevent this possibility.
Councilor Farella and the principal of the “Cassano-de Renzio” comprehensive institute subsequently spoke. Saverio Pansini. Immediately afterwards the students continued their visit to the education office, where they met the manager in groups Tiziana Contewho explained the organization of school canteens and the school bus service, the maintenance of school buildings and the projects led by the official Giovanna Vitariello. He specified that the Municipality is divided into various sectors such as sports, education, environment, tourism and culture.
At 11.30 the students, accompanied by teachers and parents, reached the Angevin Tower to meet the head of demographic services Angelica Milillo and the official Franco Matera, who is also responsible for the communication office of the Municipality. Doctor Milillo takes care of the registry office and the management of each citizen’s files, birth, marriage and death registers. She also organizes everything related to voting. You told us that the birth certificate makes us Italian citizens and proves our existence, and that there are many children in the world who are born and are not registered. They are invisible without rights. What certifies our identity is the identity card, which is now electronic and is issued by the Ministry in Rome, while the family status is the certificate that demonstrates who the members of a family unit are. At the end she showed us the register of birth certificates for 2014 and 2015, where we are all registered. Some were asked for their names and after a search in the index the birth certificate appeared. It was very exciting. The visit ended with greetings and the happiness of the 101 children for having known their “beginning” as citizens. In essence we have learned that the Municipality is like a small State or a small Parliament.
