Viterbo – There is still a name missing and the fourth council commission extends the expression of interest deadline again to May 29th

Viterbo – Municipal musical school, fifth black smoke. There are not yet the four names to form the Administrative Committee.
Yesterday morning the fourth joint commission gathered in the council chamber decided to further extend the deadlines for submitting nominations to May 29th. A name is still missing. “If there is no fourth candidate – says the councilor for culture Alfonso Antoniozzi – the city council will decide”.

“To choose the names of the committee – continues Antoniozzi – we wanted to make an expression of interest to acquire the curricula and go through a mechanism of impartiality and transparency. The nominations must then be voted on in the council separately by the majority and the opposition, separately. Two names belong to the majority and two to the minority.”
However, the event failed 4 times. On April 21st, the first deadline for the municipal notice, on April 25th, the second, on May 5th, the third, when only 3 out of four people showed up, and on May 12th, the fourth. Yesterday in the commission the majority asked the minority to propose the missing name. But then, unanimously, it was decided to move the deadline of the notice to May 29th.
“The applications for the Music School are lacking – says Luisa Ciambella (Viterbo the splendid) – because there has been a decline in prestige and recognition due to the management of the same by the Frontini administration which started the courses late and not guaranteed the location right away. The political responsibility is evident. Antoniozzi has repeatedly justified himself by giving typical excuses of those who have suffered the choices. An administration is made up of responses to citizens. Those answers that the families of Viterbo, despite the promises, did not have. It will take many years to recover all this. Because it’s quick to demolish, but not to rebuild.”

“No mistrust towards the School – replies Antoniozzi -. If anything, there is general inattention to music and musical education. After that, the Management Committee requires demanding work which does not include any type of remuneration.”

“Over the years, on the part of the Music School – continues Laura Allegrini (FdI) – we have witnessed less brilliant performances from a numerical point of view. We need to work to improve the offer and the image. Some of the problems are due to the reforms on artistic education that have taken place over time and the enormous competition that has developed at a territorial level. Now the municipal school has recovered its space within the Union theater and this will certainly be a viaticum for future successes. And it was me, when I was councilor, who wanted the recovery of the premises.”

“However, it is necessary to update the training offer – concludes Allegrini – with more modern and current chairs. It is equally appropriate to update the regulation and welcome the new opportunities of the musical panorama, ultimately creating greater integration between the school and the city”.
