Piazza Cardinal Pacca changes its face. Beyond the much-discussed info point, the medieval walls belonging to the complex of the ancient baths were illuminated. This evening the inauguration of the works that are part of the Pics projects of the city of Benevento.
“There was nothing, today there is a completely redeveloped place. A place is born, in Piazza Cardinal Pacca, which makes a clean break with a past that was only neglect, waste and nothing else” says mayor Mastella
“We – he continues – constantly dialogued with the Superintendence, all the steps were agreed with them: no one had ever said a word until this project on the finds arrived. Then we discovered unlikely experts in archaeology.
The truth is that as of now there is no objective, scientific evidence of significant archaeological findings. The truth is that this square, Piazza Cardinal Pacca, is reborn today: with the info point for visitors, an extremely pleasant green space, the lighting of the ancient walls, the asphalt completely redone.
Once again where there was darkness, we brought light. Seventy parking spaces also remain. We are sure that the city is with us, in this further urban redevelopment work that remedies the problems and inefficiencies of the past. We continue to build a puzzle of emotions, beauty and concreteness”
The sedimentation of history, the strength of light and the challenge on tourist hospitality: the city once again embraces Piazza Cardinale Pacca. And it finds itself redeveloped, with a new urban function, with a renewed look and with a splendid lighting effect which for the first time enhances a small treasure such as the surrounding ancient ruins” added the deputy mayor with responsibility for Pics Francesco De Pierro.
“Today Piazza Pacca finds a strategic role in the proposal of a coordinated tourist offer, it is a space with new asphalt and greener. The Pics continue to give light and beauty to the city and today transform a non-place into a renewed and valorised area.
The skepticism of some is defeated today: from the theaters set up by the archaeologists on the eve, today we move on to a show of light, greenery and urban re-functionalisation. In Piazza Pacca, today the decorum, until yesterday the degradation”
