The Residenza Sorriso dei Bimbi in Alassio reopens under new management: the Administration has in fact approved the concession of the management of the residence and the beach to the RTI RESIDENZA SORRISO BIMBI for two years starting from June 22nd.
Currently the structure, donated by the Borri family to the Municipality in 1953, can accommodate up to 100 guests per shift (including educators and dependent staff).
The Municipality also owns the maritime state concession of a beach located near the “Passeggiata Ciccione”, the license for which is extended until 12/31/2033.
This is a new location, more central, compared to the previously assigned beach which was located on the border with Laigueglia.
“The season starts again, our goal was to continue to keep the structure open. In these months the change of the beach agreed with the Municipality of Alassio has materialized, the space is larger than the previous one and we had to carry out some works that are about to be concluded” commented the Councilor for Social Inclusion Paola Reguzzoni.
“In the coming months we will publish an expression of interest to assess whether there are entities interested in a multi-year management with a project financing that includes the renovation of the building, which is more necessary than ever to be able to accommodate different audiences and without failing to use the structure for social purposes – continued the councilor -. In the meantime, the citizens of Busto are invited to stay in Alassio at truly affordable prices”.
The concessionaire will in fact have to apply a fixed per capita rate of €381.00 plus VAT per week, including half board for minors and families residing in Busto Arsizio, and guarantee them some additional benefits, such as the elimination of the cost of sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach or the full board service for children at the same rate as half board.
For non-residents of the Municipality of Busto Arsizio the dealer may apply increased rates.
It is possible to organize the stay by contacting Mr. Andrea Rapa at 3758070746.
The concessionaire will be able to offer stays in compliance with the purposes indicated in the notarial deeds of 1953 and 2011 and in the guidelines recently defined by the Municipal Council, which provides that, in addition to the reception and assistance of the children of the City of
Busto Arsizio, it is possible to use the Colony also “for further social purposes, such as accommodation for the elderly or disabled people”.
In this regard, starting from tomorrow, July 3, the Colony will host for two weeks 35 children from Chernobyl, who are about to arrive in Italy thanks to the commitment of Antonio Tosi and the Aubam association of Busto Arsizio.
In July, the concessionaire will organize, at no cost to the Administration, climate stays for 15 minors sent by Social Services that include the 24-hour presence of educators, travel, food, accommodation and various activities to be carried out within the facility.
