A visionary project for Reggio Calabria presented by the entrepreneur Pino Falduto. Proposal registered yesterday at the Municipality of Reggio Calabria and addressed to all local and regional authorities, as well as to the Prefect Clara Vaccaro and the Chamber of Commerce.
Pino Falduto, an entrepreneur from Reggio Calabria and an important figure in local trade, illustrated the details of his ambitious project for the creation of the “Reggio Calabria International Fair – Citrus Park – School of Perfumery and Bergamot Museum”. This project is intended to transform the Mortara locality, integrating the new Atam headquarters and exploiting funds from the “Reggio Decree” agreement.
Falduto expressed strong enthusiasm for the contribution that the project will bring to the economic and cultural development of the city. “It is a perennial contribution to the improvement of our city,” says Falduto, underlining the importance of an integrated strategy that enhances both local heritage and new commercial opportunities.
According to his calculations, the completed work should require relatively low maintenance costs compared to the large expected benefits, with around €1.1 million per year in maintenance versus estimated revenues of €1.25 million per year.
The entrepreneur places emphasis on the sustainability of the project, highlighting how the latter will not only attract visitors and professionals from all over the world, but also how it will be a catalyst for the further development of the south of the city, valorising the bergamot in particular , symbol of this region.
In conclusion, Pino Falduto sees this project not only as an investment in infrastructure, but as a fundamental initiative for the relaunch and promotion of the cultural and commercial identity of Reggio Calabria.
