Decoration has definitely improved, but the parking problem has worsened. Traders and residents of Cardinal Pacca square they give their votes to restyling carried out by the municipal administration. Not only the tourist info point with attached green space, but also the repaving of the car park, the lighting of the medieval walls, the “rediscovery” of the surviving testimonies of the monastic complex of San Pietro delle Monache, built on the remains of the Roman Baths.
An intervention that receives the majority favor of business owners and residents, except for the worsening of the historic gap linked to the availability of parking spaces. «I find the intervention very successful overall – he comments Giampiero Parisio, owner of the Santa Maria stationery shop – The redevelopment of the car park is good, the inclusion of a bit of greenery near the infopoint is pleasant, the effect of the archaeological remains is suggestive: it seems to be at the Circus Maximus. I warmly hope that the Municipality will protect the regained decorum over time, absolutely avoiding the square being used for the installation of the amusement park.”
Some more shadows in the words of Stefania D’Onofrio by Pepita precious: «The operation as a whole objectively improved liveability, but after all it was difficult to do worse than what was there. The history of the works in Benevento teaches us that the problem is not so much the implementation, but the management. It is legitimate to wonder what will become of the green space, which is very pleasant today but destined to quickly become a sunburned expanse. We then notice that the infopoint lights are always on. And there is an absolute lack of parking for us traders. We were verbally assured of a place for activities: we’ll see.” Full promotion from Biagio Cefalomanager of the Facchiano store: «Weighing the pros and cons, the positive aspects clearly prevail. The repaving, the elimination of the urinals under the wall and the advertising billboard now in pieces, the removal of the useless and cumbersome station for electric bikes which hadn’t worked for years, are all elements of evaluation that tip the scales clearly in the balance. of appreciation. Of course, even less space could have been taken up for the infopoint and the green area, which are all square meters taken away from parking.”
Parking problem that stands out in the judgment of Mena Bifulconumber one of Enzo clothing: «One cannot help but applaud the cleaning carried out. But we must also ask ourselves whether in the future the same concern will be shown for this area as on the eve of the inauguration. We have witnessed too many times interventions carried out and abandoned to themselves. And we need to find new parking solutions. The square seems very large, but at peak times it gets full in an instant. Likewise the spaces along the sidewalks. I wonder why systems are not taken into consideration to increase the number of available seats such as the herringbone stalls which notoriously multiply the space”. Fully satisfied with the restyling Massimo Ciccone of the Duomo cafeteria: «The info point with toilet alone makes me pass the project with flying colours. I couldn’t stand the procession of people entering the bar just for the bathroom.
The intervention as a whole increased liveability. I congratulate the Municipality.” Parking is also a sore point among residents of the area: «There is a dramatic lack of spaces for our cars – they comment Concetta Taddeo – Those who, like me, live a few meters from Piazza Pacca on Corso Dante, see every space occupied by the thousands of people who arrive here every day from everywhere. It’s an unlivable situation.” Half promotion also for Tania De Corso, who works for the hair stylist Flavio Ciullo: «The decoration has definitely improved. But the lack of parking, accentuated by the construction of the infopoint, is making itself felt.”
