Massimo Muglia, vice mayor of the city of rampant Tolli, dall'incontenibile want to do is show, the Schliemann agrigentino the twenty-first century, to him we owe the cultural operation "giant erection" in the Valley of the Temples I refer to the work of anastylosis frankesteiniana of surviving architectural elements of the Temple of Zeus.
Initiative "cultural" this, unscientific, unhistorical, contrary to any theory of modern restoration: striking a false history.
But art historian. The large canvas Camuccini, now on display at the College of the Philippines, calls it 'a bit Renaissance, some' neo-classical, a bit 'of everything and the opposite of everything "virtually nothing remains off, sooner or later the period the right pick, scholarly criticism, congratulations!
But architect. The architectural complex of the Holy Spirit, created by an act of foundation of 1299, according to Muglia is "Arab, Norman and Chiaramonte" maybe even a little 'pre-historic.
The Diocesan Museum, one of the few examples of contemporary architecture Agrigento, along with the Regional Archaeological Museum St. Nicholas, designed by the architect. Franco Minissi, described as "disproportionate and obstructs the view box": it means the unknown history of the place and what was there before the current building! Certainly, the deputy mayor
Muglia is driven by a deep love and feeling for art, architecture and archeology. In fact, the objectives achieved so far are disappointing, and aims to reach those who are envisaged disastrous for the city and the same image as a place of history, culture and living conditions.
could do much more to Agrigento, as cleanse his bad advisers, or trigger the self-defense on the only testimony of Byzantine Balatizzo troglodyte village, reminiscent of the contemporary village of Cava d'Ispica in Ragusa and Molinello in Augusta, now severely threatened by a swarm of relentless pawing engineers to create, whatever the cost, their nice to design of escape on the north-west of the hill of Girgenti, characterized by high sheer cliffs and a tragic history of instability and speculation: how the landslides of 1944 and 1966, the static instability of the cathedral, the seminary and the church St. Alphonsus.
This may not be sufficient to make them desist from this wicked escape.
I hope common sense will prevail.
PAI, the Plan of hydrogeological today, the law n.183 of 18 May 1989 before ranking the Northern hill of Girgenti, R4 at risk, which represents the greatest danger of the risk classes.
And yet, the absurd project described on Sicily of 7 November 2009, nearly doubling the street Empedocles, which provides for the siege of the one road leads to well-preserved old Chiaramonte, Panitteri door, reduced to a common median.
In an age where all the historical centers of Italy who respect become ZTL (limited traffic zone), we, who are back at least fifty years, we propose, on behalf of the pseudo security, and the pseudo pseudoemancipazione, demolition, realization penetration of wide streets in the district of Santa Croce extremely delicate (certainly aimed at a future real estate speculation), escape routes on hydrogeological risk areas, anastylosis Telamon preposterous, pedestrian underpasses "weakened" in the middle of the archaeological zone, the runway at Golden Gate that solves a nonexistent problem, big parking lots full at the highest impact in the Valley of the Temples, the square of squalid place to eat, without a tree without a thread of shadow, the opening of exhibition unwatchable. Culture and 'something else! I regret very
admit it, but I regret Senator Calogero Sodano.
An invitation to discuss with the unforgettable words with which it was delivered to the Minister Giacomo Mancini substantial report on the causes of the landslide of Agrigento that tastes great news ...
"Sir,
[...] Men in Agrigento, have erred, strongly and stubbornly, in the terms of administrative behavior and performance techniques, in the guise of public leaders and as private operators. The damage of this line, woven of sins consciously desired, acts of malfeasance made and sustained, the arrogant exercise of discretion, disregard of democratic conduct, is huge for the city of Agrigento. Huge
in its very physical substance and hardly measurable in economic terms, it becomes immeasurable for social, civil and human. The city of "Tolli" is no longer a time of Agrigento. The urban face, disfigured, perhaps in part can be recovered with generous planting of greenery in their hands, wound healing and the mending tissue, but difficult, and some with very high costs, may take the decorative aspect of a city human: the wounds inflicted, even cured, remain long. But even more delicate it poses the problem of human relationships, that with the investigation and punishment of crimes, calls for an end to the suffering of the people of Agrigento, long oppressed by an arbitrary. [...]
The seriousness of the facts established without a doubt puts the situation in Agrigento to the limit of the possible combinations of the many negative factors that contribute to the formation of a city, its growth and its leadership. And the landslide, which occurred in this city, could be described in a way consistent with this aberrant situation of urban-building. [...] It can not, in concluding, we not hope that this concrete analysis starts from a serious stimulus in place a stop - and irreversible decision - the process of urban disintegration and plunder.
