Frost. This week, professor Nuccio Mulè, who has always been committed to valorising the city’s historical heritage, wrote to the five candidates for mayor, supporting the need to start again from local archaeology. In fact, he believes that up to now not everything that was essential has been done. Mayor Lucio Greco is keen to explain that he has always followed the indications that came from Mulè, in an attempt to re-establish cultural and historical priority. “The letter released by Professor Nuccio Mulè requires me to clarify what has been done in recent years by the administration that I have had the honor of presiding over. When you say in a generic way that politics has done nothing regarding the protection and enhancement of the historical and archaeological heritage, you are not providing good information because it does not correspond to the truth. On the contrary, I have totally embraced the battles waged by Professor Mulè, I have shared them, made them my own and relaunched them in the competent tables. Specifically, last January 9, I reported to the director of the Archaeological Park of Gela and the superintendent the list of all the finds that have not returned to the city in recent decades, asking that they be returned to the regional museum. There are over 900 – he says – the boxes full of finds which between 1999 and 2001 were transferred to the Caltanissetta Museum by the superintendence. A notable number, who never returned.” Greco recalls the events linked to the museum structures but also to the Caposoprano site.
