The project was accepted – 229 interventions were blocked throughout Italy. Here because.
The City Council of Fossacesia, in its last session, as did other Italian municipalities, approved a motion inviting the Government to refinance the “Culture and Tourism” Plan as part of the “Bellezz@-Recuperiamo i forgotten cultural places”. Since December 2022, the Bellezz@ project has ended up in limbo. In fact, 229 interventions are blocked throughout Italy.
The mayor Enrico Di Giuseppantonio recently also participated in a meeting of the mayors and councilors of the municipalities interested in the financing. Fossacesia, in 2018, had asked the Presidency of the Council of Ministers to be admitted to the allocation for the recovery of the premises underlying the Portale della Luna of the Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere, the Fonte di Venere and the Belvedere area of the Costa dei Trabocchi, for an amount of 620 thousand EUR. The project had been accepted. Due to the increase in material costs caused by the Covid pandemic, the conflict in Ukraine and the energy crisis, financing was blocked. «It’s a project I’ve been working on for years to obtain refinancing. I have been to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers several times to request – underlines the mayor Enrico Di Giuseppantonio -. Now, however, faced with the difficulties that have emerged, it is necessary to find the necessary funds also through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). The recovery of spaces in the rooms located under the Portal of the Moon, to host a museum in which to display the many works that testify to the uniqueness of San Giovanni in Venere and also the other interventions planned at the Fonte di Venere and the Belvedere della Costa dei Trabocchi, will be able to make a notable contribution from a tourist and cultural point of view to Fossacesia”.
