MANTOVA The city administration meets the Virgiliana-Frassino district. The audience in the parish theater room is full. «Many works are underway – explains the councilor for public works, Nicola Martinelli – the completion of the Strada Madonnina cycle path, which connects the Frassino and Virgiliana districts, has resumed: they resume after the stop due to legal complications of the company in charge of the works ( Ghisiolo). There will be a crossing, and it will have its own illumination.” Other works in progress: the redevelopment of the Lunetta fort. « We are redoing the roof – continues the mayor Mattia Palazzi – And we ask you what to do with it: what to do to make it live, interfacing with the realities that can give us a hand». Finally, 60 new trees were planted near the cycle path and the accommodation in Via Parodi, Suzzara and Verdi was redeveloped. «Houses taken from the mafia – concludes Martinelli – the fight against crime also moves with these gestures». «A small but fundamental gesture for the fight against crime also because we give back spaces to people helped by social services – councilor Andrea Caprini – and it is important that they are not left alone: the appeal is that they feel included in the social fabric» . The word goes to the citizens: curiosities and questions regarding the cutting of trees near Viale dei Cadati; the possibility of providing other streets with sidewalks, and also with respect to the spaces to be used for prayers on Muslim holidays: residents complain about the lack of dedicated spaces for prayer, and the mayor specifies that “the new social center will be able to be used ( in Lunetta)”. Furthermore, there is a lack of space for children to socialize and play sports. Another theme: security at the Virgiliana, with the installation of new cameras: there are complaints of baby gangs who threaten and kick residents.
