“I created that narrowing of the bridge when I was mayor because I saw too many trucks full of gravel passing by.”.
In essence, the first person to have realized that the structure needed to be safeguarded in a certain way, Guido Pelizzoni he was mayor of Calvatone from 1975 to 1980 and the contradiction he wants to reveal is that of the absolute lack of communication between the higher institutions and his Administration.
“No one ever told us, for example, that the bridge was under the jurisdiction of the Superintendence of Fine Arts”.
And so it wasn’t even known who had to carry out the checks and on whose behalf. On Sunday morning from 11.30 onwards, as announced, there was a peaceful demonstration without political infiltration. Only the people of Calvatone but also of Bozzolo and nearby towns arrived, some by bike, some by car to reiterate the slogan “! Give us back the Bridge”. Acquanegra was not there and it seems they want to organize a similar event next Sunday.
Question of permits and authorizations? Meanwhile, several people and even cycle tourists crossed the bridge from one side to the other despite the signs prohibiting transit. To tell the truth, signs made by the same members of the Committee which recently collected more than two thousand protest signatures.
There appears to be no official notice to this effect from the two Provinces. Apart from the two traffic lights on both sides, perpetually fixed on red. Testimony came from the couple from Bozzolo who since June last year have been enormously penalized due to the blockade which greatly limits the flow of customers into their restaurant located right on the other side of the bridge.
The mayor of Bozzolo Giuseppe Torchio he repeated a slogan already expressed on other occasions and which concerns the different treatment of the institutions regarding the territories, always favoring the Cremasco area and beyond the Po without ever taking into consideration the area surrounding Casalasco. The mayor of Calvatone Valeria Patelli he greeted the numerous participants in the event, reiterating “I will always be with you, on every occasion”.
In the meantime, drinks, sparkling wine and beers for everyone with a slice of lemon cake on which “The first non-birthday” was written…
