The proposed Order of Engineers of Agrigento for the demolition of the neighborhood and the neighborhood Terravecchia Rabato-Santa Croce in the historical center of Agrigento Agrigento
From 2005 to speak ominously to the completion of an "escape route" to escape from the city center. The initiative, which obscures the intent and purpose, has always been headed to the Civil Defense and was dragged for several years without materializing into anything concrete.
Suddenly, the aftermath of the landslide Giampilieri (Messina), the story is topical again by Bishop. It is known fact that the Order of Engineers of Agrigento was charged in late October 2009 by a multiplicity of institutions Agrigento (Agrigento City, State, Civil Protection Prefecture) to draft a project proposal that involves construction of a link road between the floor of the Cathedral of Agrigento, located on the top of the old town, called Terravecchia, Via Garibaldi and Via XXV Aprile, after crossing the quarter-Rabato Santa Croce, with a jump of about one hundred meters.
The new route, called the "escape" of considerable magnitude, strongly sponsored by Bertolaso, called for the occasion in Agrigento, from Piazza Don Minzoni, where facing the Cathedral and the Archbishop's Seminary, gutted the northern part of the historic center seminar involving the ascent, via the Oblates, provides for the demolition of medieval architecture of great value as the Arch Calafato, Gothic-Catalan, but basically suggests the disruption of the urban structure is characterized by medieval courtyards, alleyways, stairways, with relational spaces of great architectural quality, still lived by the population.
The new path splits in two: the south-east, with substantial demolition of buildings, including residential areas, should be reached via Garibaldi, after having swept the medieval fabric. Towards the west, under the Institute Gioeni, winds along the northern edge of the neighborhood of the seventeenth century Rabato-Santa Croce, demolishing houses, altering the morphology of the soil and the spatial configuration of places, to reach the underlying Via XXV Aprile with a viaduct in the corners.
The historic center of Agrigento is still degraded area, in need of loving restoration, the recovery of political, economic regeneration and functional. Part of the Santa Croce district Rabato-was affected by the landslide of 1966 and subsequently abandoned to decay. Nevertheless there are still significant traces of urban design structured by large courtyards that form terraces sloping, connected by wide staircases or underpasses Turn around.
If you can agree on the need to improve accessibility and mobility within the historic center, we can certainly accommodate the proposal made to move the clock to the times of "Vandals at home."
One wonders how it is possible today to conceive of such programs and relies on the network Eddyburg need to spread the alarm and extend the dissent.
Meanwhile two girls die under the rubble of a dilapidated building in the center of Favara (AG); patios are demolitions and we discover that from 2003 there are dozens of housing completed, unassigned and vandalized. The prosecutor's office investigates, but what's the point?
