“The first municipal council of this legislature will be held at the Romiti building”. He announces it the mayor Gian Luca Zattini at its first public outing after the results of the polls and on the occasion of the inauguration of the Cna headquarters in via Pelacano, restored following the damage caused by the flood of May 2023. “A symbolic gesture, precisely to highlight that we do not want to forget and we don’t want to leave anyone behind”, concludes the mayor.
The inauguration of the Cna headquarters
Today, exactly 70 years after its establishment on 15 June 1954, CNA Forlì-Cesena has re-inaugurated its provincial headquarters, heavily affected by the flood, with welcoming, renovated and reorganized premises. A concrete sign of resilience and restart. In addition to Zattini, the ribbon cutting ceremony was attended by the vicar of the bishop Don Enrico Casadei, the national president of CNA Dario Costantini; for CNA Forlì-Cesena the provincial president Lorenzo Zanotti and the general director Franco Napolitano, accompanied by the testimony of a CNA employee, Danila Padovani.
Also present was a qualified representation of institutions and the world of economic associations, as well as numerous managers, associates and collaborators of CNA.
The damage caused by the flood a year ago was extensive: the basement (which contained technical rooms, press centre, historical archive and part of the current archive) was completely flooded; the ground floor was also seriously compromised, with both the offices and the recently renovated meeting room damaged. Finally, significant damage also occurred in the adjacent rooms in Via Pelacano 42, where the CNA Cittadini offices are located. Furthermore, all the IT infrastructures and communication systems of the 23 offices in the area depend on the headquarters.
After the initial shock, CNA immediately took action, managing to restore the IT infrastructure very quickly, thus allowing the 300 collaborators to be operational by working in smart working. Even without electricity in Via Pelacano, the risk of paralysis in the offices in the area was therefore averted, thus guaranteeing support to businesses, some of which were themselves affected by the flood. In this sense, the investments made in recent years in technology and modern work organization have been fundamental.
The redevelopment intervention
The redevelopment intervention concerned a total surface area of 1500 m2, of which 300 m2 was in the headquarters in via Pelacano 42.
