A model that the city did not want, unlike the Piana delle Orme Museum which found a worthy location for that 1:50 scale reconstruction of the 1937 Aprilia.
Three years of work, from 2000 to 2003, by two Aprilian enthusiasts, Alvaro Fiacconi and Franco Sorrentini, who rebuilt in wood the foundation core, the church with the original bell tower, the Casa del Fascio, the town hall, the school , the theater (later to become “Pidocchietto” and now closed), the portico.
Alvaro Fiacconi he died yesterday at the age of 85 at the Città di Aprilia hospital, surrounded by the affection of his family.
Tomorrow, Monday 27 May at 11 am at the church of San Michele Arcangelo in Piazza Roma in Aprilia there will be a final farewell. So proud of that model that he also wanted it to be remembered on the epigraph.
Alvaro reached his friend Franco Sorrentini, who suddenly passed away 8 years ago, in March 2016.
With Fiacconi’s death, a piece of that “genuine” part of the city that worked so hard to keep the memory of its history alive but which was not understood by local politics goes away. The administration at the time was unable to find a space to accommodate that model, which can now only be visited in the Latina museum.
Sorrentini and Fiacconi were ready to burn their work in the square, unique in terms of details and historical relevance: it was better to destroy it than let it rot in a basement, they said. Then came the Piana delle Orme museum who welcomed that reconstruction with open arms.
The editorial staff of Il Caffè sympathizes with the pain of the Fiacconi family.
