operations this morning in the ten barracks of the Taormina district, described the process: “Currently, we have isolated and prepared 100 units for sealing, with the aim of extending the operation to around 160 shacks in total, consolidating the urban regeneration process of the city. An important intervention, followed with the Civil Engineering of Messina, the implementing body, led by the Chief Engineer Santi Trovato”.
