Here is what he writes:

Good morning ComoZero, in April I witnessed a citizen tripping inside a flowerbed on the sidewalk of Piazzale Gerbetto shortly after the Fnm station. I wrote to the offices and after several reminders the green Councilor replied telling me that that was not a flowerbed, as I thought, but it is a small block where a tree once lived.

Given that I don’t understand who could have thought of placing a plant in the center of a sidewalk, the greenery councilor told me that he would carry out an inspection and let me know, it was April 29th, I haven’t heard anything further. Passing this morning, the hole with a diameter of about 80 centimeters and a depth of about 15 centimeters is still there, undisturbed. It would just be a case of completing the sidewalk with some porphyry cubes, a job that would take a couple of hours, before someone falls into it again. Thanks for the attention. Greetings. Alberto
