Peter Factors:
E 'today's news that the Superintendent of Cultural Heritage Gabriella Constantine gave the project a negative opinion of Moncada Energy to secure, at its expense, the viaduct Akragas, adding to the project, a roof with solar panels. I have in my hands a number of "The Sweep", the glorious newspaper directed the Advocate and the Advocate first Malogioglio Salvatore Joseph Grillo then: in an article in 1971, the columnist denounced the outrageous decision to build a long snake of concrete Agrigento armed to connect with the new district "ghetto" of Villaseta. Even then, the aftermath of the disastrous building lot, public opinion is not expressed few doubts about the construction of a monstrous concrete viaduct in the heart of the Valley of the Temples. An operation, says the article, intended and authorized by the State and who will "enrich non Agrigento. And so it was.
Today, after 40 years, we cry to the results of that way of administering public affairs. We are the ones crying that arrogant piece of crap that sits on the valley of the temples, we are always crying relatives and friends at that bridge were killed. To build it took little time permits came with a speed unheard of. It 'been permitted to destroy a cemetery: So my question is as follows.
Genius Loci:
... I do not understand one hand claims that the bridge is a piece of crap, the other has agreed to make it even more tamarro with a roof of photovoltaic panels. Convinced furthermore that such barriers can stop a car launched at 120 km / h. I am speechless! Try to travel in Europe, also via the Web
What was then the Superintendent of Cultural Heritage? Today, Dr. Constantine, who on many occasions we have been able to appreciate, we are saying that the entrepreneur can not Moncada to secure that much crap that dominates the archaeological park. Moncada, enlightened entrepreneur, had found a viable solution to cover the costs: to build a roof with solar panels to go with new barriers. Again, the entrepreneur Agrigento, was ready to substitute for this state of Agrigento fugitive who is remembered only in the proximity of elections.
Genius Loci:
That work, which is what defines a journalist called "big crap" - since no one has bothered to check the news, since you are not worthy of study and deepen the story and facts, I suggest that the "most disgusting", is a great feat of engineering, designed by Richard Morandi, one of the greatest structural engineers of which Italy can boast: "Over the bridge expresses his creativity and his genius architectural structure," as Bruno Zevi remarked on the "Express", which described him as "Le Corbusier on four wheels. "
engineering standpoint the work is cast as a titanic challenge: to create a ribbon floating on the edge of the Valley of the Temples, Agrigento linking with the new district Villaseta.
The viaduct is the result of harmonization with the morphology of the deep surrounding the establishment of a dialogue between the work and landscape, talk that is made of assonance and dissonance.
The large figurative work Morandi formal elegance originates from the desire to write in simple elements and linear tectonic units, combining structural strength and lightness.
Regarding the safety of the bridge, despite her forty years of age, and without addition of any form of maintenance, it is still efficient and perfect.
The flying car from the bridge are not chargeable to the deck or at safety barriers, which should definitely magazines.
It 'like trying to solve the problem of removing dead Saturday evening by the calendar on Saturday. Die Sunday!
probably the highest barriers to contain the cars in the roadway, but there remains the problem of speeding, distraction of mobile phone and a thousand other causes.
Moncada regard to the patron if he wants to replace the state, go ahead, but without asking for compensation, has already destroyed half the Sicilian landscape, the Valley of the Temples has its Tolli, not let's add another.
A patron is usually motivated by reasons of prestige as well as taste.
Wurth, to fund the restoration of the Palatine Chapel in Palermo, did not intend to cover the walls with bolts and screws.
About fugitive status would remind you that the state is us. And the fugitives to which she refers are those that somehow, with his superficial information, and pretext, perhaps unwittingly, is defending and supporting.
Here's what Dr. Gabriella Costantini said: "In those areas shall not be granted permission for canopies even precarious. Panels? There are no detailed plan in the new Zone A ". We deny the panels, but no, I say no, the Superintendency has never expressed one word of condemnation of that horrible viaduct!
And as we well know Agrigento time policy, and we know just as well that the viaduct Akragas not be made safe within a reasonable time, we have to seriously consider the possibility of permanently take away half of that monster of concrete. Agrigento Villaseta To link could be achieved a new link, widening the existing road n ° 1 "Villaseta-Crossroads", moving traffic Car districts south of the city on the western slopes of the hill.
the viaduct of death, Agrigento and not all, have "filled the boxes" as we have imposed 40 years ago today, unable to put it safely in a reasonable time, denying, inter alia, private to do so at their own expense, we should demolish it. And if possible, restoring the archaeological area devastated by using extreme caution when moving the bulldozers and mechanical shovels: the temples are just a few miles ....
