The news of the inauguration of the Beach Estate 2024 Sports Village at the Lungomare della Salute in Fiumicino leaves us somewhat perplexed and doubtful, in particular regarding the process of creation and approval of the entire event by the Department of Sport and Culture of the Municipality of Fiumicino.
Our doubts start from the fact that only those with an extremely labile cognitive capacity could have forgotten that this sports village is certainly not a novelty in the panorama of summer events promoted in Fiumicino. Precisely in 2022 the same Asd Club Italia Eventi Association, on the recommendation of the then Sports Department, organized the same initiative, at the same location on the Lungomare della Salute. The only big difference is given by the fact that the administration led by us granted the sporting event an amount equal to €4,000.00, while today for a similar program of sporting and cultural events a contribution of €55,510 was granted .00 VAT included.
As if that wasn’t enough for the awarding of the sports village, a simple management decision was approved regarding the launch of a market investigation aimed at carrying out the construction service of the sports village, through direct assignment pursuant to art. . 50 of Legislative Decree 36/2023. In the text of the notice, reserved for economic operators and third sector entities registered with Mepa, published for a short term, permitted by law, the administration specified that since it was a preliminary market consultation, participation would not constitute proof of possession of the general requirements for the award, defining everything as a mere exploratory act without constraints for the City of Fiumicino.
Participating, probably just by chance, was exclusively the ASD Club Italia Eventi which at this point was awarded, with determination to negotiate, the organization of the event, through the presentation of a preliminary project, at least from the documents in publication, where only the sporting initiatives that should take place for a month at the seafront are indicated, without particular technical or safety specifications necessary for the installation of these temporary structures and if the costs for water and electricity utilities are borne by the same organization.
Our Administration financed the creation of a single event with only €4,000 while the entire organization of the sports arena, including the costs relating to the assembly, guardianship, maintenance and responsibility of the structures were totally borne by the aforementioned sports association, which proposed a calendar of events very similar to today’s, with documentable acts.
We do not question the ability and competence of the Association responsible for the event but some doubts about the bureaucratic and administrative management of the entire organization are evident, as is the fact that this administration led by Mayor Baccini is unable to create anything new, copying from scratch what was done previously, and differing only in the amount of public money that is invested in such impromptu projects.
