Viterbo – “Civic Tower, work presumably starting within the year”. Emanuele Aronne, municipal councilor for urban planning, sees the recovery project announced for a long time and still at a standstill approaching.
With Michelini as mayor, several years ago now, it gained new momentum, but it had already been talked about before.
Make it open and visitable, to climb up to the top and enjoy the panorama of Viterbo from over 40 meters high.

In the last city council meeting, Aaron explained that we have now reached the top. “The signing of the agreement with the region for Fersr funds will be coming soon – explains Aronne”. Those destined for the recovery of the civic tower amount to almost 800 thousand euros. The figure has also increased compared to the initial evaluation. Effect of the general increase in costs. Initially it was financed with 570 thousand euros, then the Frontini administration added another two hundred thousand or so, then the ERDF opportunity arrived.
The project was prepared, even overcoming some obstacles. Starting from the entrance. Currently, the entrance is from the town hall. In the future it will be from Via Roma, where the newsstand once stood.
Viterbo – Civic Tower – The recovery project
The staircase to go up will necessarily be re-adapted, as will the terrace and the clock mechanism, repaired.
At the end of 2020, the then councilor for public works Laura Allegrini presented the project in preview. Since then it has remained on paper, hopefully for a little longer.
