The grandstand with the roof will be demolished, this is now known. Today the second construction site opened Ancient Krotonin via Ugo Foscolowhile in the next few weeks the excavation site will be inaugurated right in the stadium area.
The idea of the administration together with the Superintendence and the Region is to make the remains accessible through walkways Ancient Kroton that will come out of the excavation campaign. One of these areas is located in via Giovanni Paolo II, under Parco Pignera, where the Ezio Scida municipal plant is located. And thereThe other cluster is the stadium areathe area where there is currently the press room and the changing rooms built under the removable grandstand of 2016. There, the scientific coordinator of the Antica Kroton Futura projects explained to us weeks ago Gloria Mittica there is the central district of ancient Kroton “with attendance from the 7th to the 3rd century BC”.
But let’s go in order. Opposite the Gravina, in via Ugo Foscolo, there is the financing of one million two hundred thousand euros of interventions, of which seven hundred thousand euros for excavations. This morning the fencing operations and installation of the construction site with containers. What will be found, which corresponds to Kroton’s age, will be made accessible with routes like at Capo Colonna. That is, walkways with handrails, to make what is underneath visible.
“This part of via Ugo Foscolo is adjacent to the old Polis – He told us Antonio Senatoremanager of Ancient Kroton – and the importance of this area will be to get to know better how the polis extended urbanistically. So we are not exactly in the center of the ancient polis but it helps us to know better the extension, and how the stenopoi developed in antiquity”.
A narrative tape, therefore, will tell what will be found on a route that will lead from Parco Pignera, the stadium area, to the city center and the Castle.
Regarding the works on the Ezio Scida plant which are still not well defined, he told us this: “We consider the stadium as an element that will have to be integrated into the project to enhance the archaeological area of Parco Pignera – he concluded – therefore it must be an element that fully accompanies the use of the park, and for this reason we are working to ensure that the stadium is refunctionalized following these characteristics“. This is what he expressed himself about the times Antonio Senatore: “Even if the specific program for dismantling the Covered Grandstand and re-functioning the stadium has not yet been defined, we think that we should finish all the activities by 2025.”
Meanwhile, in recent days the City Council approved the changes to the concession for the management, operation and use of the Ezio Scida municipal sports facility. There will be a renewal for only one year for whoever wins the management tender. But, with work about to begin and the dismantling of the Grandstand, it has not yet been defined how Crotone will be able to play in its facility, and where access will be for fans since the Covered Grandstand will have to be dismantled.
