It is not a fight between Urbino and Pesaro. The ducal city has been the capital for 170 years (even if the process ended in recent months with the arrival of official approval from the Government). Reiterating that active programs are needed is Federico Scaramucci, candidate for mayor of Urbino for the centre-left against the centre-right mayoral candidate Maurizio Gambini in the run-off on 23 and 24 June. “We are the provincial capital, despite the marketing of the mayor who is about to leave. On the contrary, Urbino can and must return to being the Italian and above all European cultural capital. While Gambini like a provincial Tsar has declared war on the coast, Urbino and Pesaro must team up. Someone is looking for enemies and wants to isolate Urbino by placing it against the coast but the city that will come is the one that collaborates together with Montefeltro and Pesaro and is preparing to aspire to the title of European capital of culture in 2033 on the experience of Pesaro, the Italian capital of culture. culture 2024. The void that Gambini wants to create around Urbino serves to hide his planning void in the cultural and artistic field”.
Do you support this strategy?
“The hill that wages war on the sea, Montefeltro that aims its weapons against Mount San Bartolo. Tsar Gambini has understood that his empire is over, so he invents a new enemy. The planning and relational void of Gambini, who is always looking for an enemy: today Pesaro, tomorrow Cagli or even Fermignano. Let’s say enough is enough: they have understood the deception and on Sunday 23rd and Monday 24th they will demonstrate it by choosing a future without enemies, but with many allies, like Pesaro, ready to lend us a hand for this new adventure with its winning experience of recent years, in the field of culture and tourism , like Bologna, in the field of shared administration. The conflict and opposition of which Gambini is the champion bring isolation while Urbino needs to open up.
What is your counter strategy?
“Carrying out ambitious projects in the first six months of the new administration we will present three cultural development plans to make Urbino shine again in the world: art, music and literature. Then we will submit them to the citizens who will tell us which ones are welcome. The most functional and ambitious , those approved by the citizens, will lead to the cultural rebirth of the city after years of torpor and then to the candidacy of Urbino and Pesaro as the European Capital of Culture in 2033”.
Maria Francesca Crespini, leader of Futura, who on Tuesday made the alliance with Scaramucci’s “The City to Come” official, also says: “What matters are the numbers, 52.5% of voters (i.e. 45% obtained by Scaramucci and 7 % from Crespini) no longer wants Gambini. He rejected his 48% but by joining our forces it means that more than half of the people prefer us lose: the citizens choose us”.
