Varese, big clouds over the former Aermacchi: does the Superintendence block everything?

Is the redevelopment of the former Aermacchi in doubt? Legitimate doubts emerge from the comment published on Facebook by Paolo Orrigoni yesterday, Thursday 20 June, shortly after 6pm.

“After years of not writing anything on Facebook, today I make an appropriate exception. I share a sad thought. You work for years to try to build a super interesting and modern project to recover a degraded area of ​​the city, wanting to create a UNIQUE sports facility to donate to a city association, you also get an initial approval and then you start to clean up and demolish and in the meantime you do application for building permit.” “After 6 months of absolute silence (see the initial protocol dates) – he continues – the answer arrives: we were joking, we don’t like what you want to do. In the end they always manage to change your mind. We’ll take the weekend to think about it, then we’ll see if the former Aermacchi in Varese will remain a pile of rubble or not.“

The entrepreneur’s message is accompanied by a photo of the header of the communication received from the Superintendency of Fine Arts.

A meeting is scheduled for Monday morning at 8.30 at Palazzo Estense, at the end of which we hope to have a clearer picture of the situation.

The property has already worked for six months on the construction site in via Sanvito, respecting the agreements made with the Municipality. One and a half tons of asbestos were removed and a guarantee worth over 7 million euros was issued. It is not clear why a project already approved, even if with reservations, was contested.

It is hypothesized that the problem Orrigoni refers to is related to the expected reduction in the project’s surfaces, with a cut in the square meters allocated to the gym spaces. This would complicate things quite a bit, and there are already those who point the finger at the Municipality which, it seems, would not be immune from responsibility at all.
