ROVIGO – The Rovigo lawyer Valentina Noce, private secretary of the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio, intervenes regarding the location of the new Rovigo court in the spaces of the former Rovigo Police Headquarters in via Donatoni.
“The best is the enemy of the good”: it is by seeking perfection or setting yourself too ambitious goals that you risk obtaining the opposite of the desired result. It is a teaching that the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio passed on to me and which he often repeats in his government action: by trying to reach an ever higher level you risk losing what is good you already have.
That the excellent is the enemy of the good is a warning that should warn more than one person in Rovigo who would like to relocate the Court outside the historic center, causing the death of related services and commercial establishments.
A problem common to many cities, in fact, concerns the reorganization of justice which also involves the implementation of staffing and the rationalization of buildings.
In these almost two years of visits to judicial offices throughout Italy alongside Minister Nordio we have collected the requests of the territories and everywhere the question is always the same: to obtain better local justice and keep alive those centers in which the Court is a synergistic part of the socio-economic fabric, especially of small-medium sized entities.
In this direction, solutions are sought for a better and efficient service to citizens, which does not only involve court users but the entire community, for the benefit of the entire territory, in a balance of interests that regardless of individual categories.
The community of Rovigo has already expressed its desire to keep the city court in the historic centre: the Ministry is studying and paying attention to the refunctionalisation of the former Gattinara Barracks and the complete redevelopment and restoration of the historic current seat of the Court, located in Via Verdiin the knowledge that the former Gattinara Barracks is the only possible alternative for the success of the project to rationalize the spaces used by the UU.GG.
This is one of the major interventions planned in the field of judicial construction financed with Justice’s own funds.
It is true that it appears that the State Property Agency, following a report from the judicial offices in relation to the requirement frameworks used in the DIP (design guidance documents) decided to evaluate alternative design solutions, but on the assumption of a request for implementation of the maximum number of staff that it is a mere utopia because in fact it does not correspond to realityhas never been paid and probably never will be paid.
Each office can complain that a certain number of operators are missing to reach the maximum staff coverage envisaged on paper, and therefore make demands for more space, but it must know that the optimal solution will be unattainable. And it is well known that the excellent is the enemy of the good.
So goodness must be pursued to have the best possible solution, not the ideal of unattainable and unreasonable perfection.
Unreasonableness also given by a possible financial plan that is not sustainable for the Ministry, which could one day consider other solutions viable such as the hypothesis of the probable disappearance of the Rovigo court in favor of another province. Is this how some people want to revitalize Rovigo?
Missing the opportunity to redevelop a complex with historical value and a very high social function is unthinkable for Rovigo, it would be a mockery of the citizens. The commitment and the word given to the citizens have a value, failing to do so means decreeing the death of the city.
Whoever is elected in the next elections will have to account for this to the citizens of Rovigo, today and tomorrow” concludes the former Rovigo municipal councilor of the League, candidate on the same list in the administrative elections of 8 and 9 June 2024.
