A necessary redevelopment due to some instability phenomena, the subject of geological studies and monitoring, which probably led to failures in some buildings, resulting in cracks in the perimeter walls. In particular, the artefacts covered by this intervention will be the surrounding wall, the east side columbaria and the cemetery chapel. A project carried out together with the Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the provinces of Ravenna, Forlì-Cesena and Rimini, as a protected place of worship. However, other types of work have already been completed, also carried out in this cemetery, which were part of another maintenance and restoration operation.

The first is the one referring to the tender in the final stretch for the interventions aimed at functional improvement and regulatory compliance. Works planned for a total investment of 200 thousand euros, which include the arrangement of the parapets of the buildings. Another front of works planned in the Monumental Civic Cemetery concerns the restoration of the chapel Of Ponentewhich will be entrusted to Anthea for a cost of approx 100 thousands EUR.

In fact, interventions relating to the Corpolò Cemetery, a project entrusted to Anthea for a total cost of 55 thousand euros, which concerns the consolidation of the surrounding walls and the waterproofing of the roofs, the replacement of deteriorated tiles. A redevelopment that also includes replastering and painting the facades of the columbariums, as well as the electrical systems and internal paths.

Other works and redevelopments are also scheduled for 2025which will see an intense succession of construction sites in the city’s places of worship. Various extraordinary maintenance interventions, with a total value of 100 thousand euros, are planned in the cemeteries of San Lorenzo in Monte and Santa Maria in Cerreto. The same investment will also be made for the Civic Cemetery, where we will continue with the redevelopment of the reinforced concrete buildings in the north and west sectors. The planning will continue the following year (2026), when they are scheduled extraordinary maintenance works in the cemeteries of Casalecchio, San Martino in Venti and Santa Giustina and for the Civic Cemeterywhere we want to continue with the safety of the “comb-shaped” reinforced concrete buildings and the reconstruction of further parapets.
