can secure? THEN DEMOLISHED THE MONSTER OF CONCRETE PHOTO GALLERY

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 ....

NEWS - China-Africa Cooperation: For one thing it says

Since the Sino-African Forum which saw Egypt as the host country: announced 10 billion of loans and reduction of duties
Ten billion dollars in loans. So China doubled its commitment in Africa. This was announced at the Sino-African summit, which concludes today in Sharm el-Sheikh was the Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao. The giant yellow
has presented the fourth edition of focaccia (Forum on China-Africa cooperation) with an eight-point plan, which includes financial assistance to Africa which is double than the last edition of the Forum in 2006: $ 10 billion in loans, of which 5 are to encourage Chinese companies to invest in Africa.
The package offered to African governments, along with cooperation efforts such classics as the cancellation of foreign debt, there is the reduction of trade tariffs on goods from poorer countries, programs for clean energy, education and cultural exchanges.
"China's support to African development is real and solid and in the future, no matter what turmoil will affect the world, our friendship for the people of Africa will not change," said Jiabao at the summit in Egypt.
Meanwhile, to ring alarm bells in Europe and the United States is the huge volume of trade exchange between China and Africa reached: 106 billion dollars in 2008.
"The real assault on Africa by China occurred in the mid-90s, although the start of economic penetration in the continent goes back to the sixties," says the historian Africanist Angelo Del Boca. In little more than a decade in Africa are setting themselves up 800 Chinese companies that manage over 900 projects mainly in the resources sector and infrastructure.
The first edition of the FOCAC was held in Beijing in 2000 in an international environment of relative indifference. Moreover at the time the volume of trade between the Asian giant and Africa is just over 10 billion dollars. In 2003 Ethiopia
touches host the summit and again following the West distracted the event.
Meanwhile, from 2002 to 2005, total trade between Africa tripled 12.39000000000-39.8000000000 dollars. In 2006 reached 55 billion.
The rest of the world seems to realize how Africa has become the "yellow" suddenly, in November 2006 when the FOCAC Beijing to meet heads of state and government of 48 African countries out of 53 of the African continent. From the Chinese capital's premier Zen Jiabao announced an impressive package of aid and investment, and states a goal: to bring the trade volume of trade with Africa to $ 100 billion by 2010. At the beginning 2008, Beijing announced that the goal has been reached, with two years early.
According to a recent report by French researcher Valérie Niquet, China has trade delegations in 49 African countries and France has a population of only 11. The United States, for their part, are involved in a head to head is always harder for the supply of African oil.
's hunger for raw materials and the desire to find outlets for their products are the springs more obvious interest of China to Africa. To prove the imports are of last year: those related to oil and raw materials were $ 56 billion, 54% more compared to 2007.
But recently, China is diversifying its relations with Africa. In 2009, Chinese President Hu Jintao has opened the new year with a visit to Senegal, Mali, Tanzania and Mauritius, countries are not particularly rich in raw materials. Simultaneously, the Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi visited Uganda, Rwanda, South Africa and Malawi. In Tanzania, one of the last sign agreements made in China is acquiring 50% of the airline to the state. "One of the things that China is now taking care of business is that of the main issues," says the director of the Africa ISPI Gianpaolo Casts Novati. "In the east and west Tanzania and Senegal can be seen in this key. Do not forget that the port of Shanghai is the world's most important to the transport of goods. It is China's interest to establish a network with commercial landings on the African continent, and this is a point on which France is very intervening in its relations with Africa, trying to salvage his relationship with former colonies as many positions policy of France had already been captured by the United States. "
China remains on trial at the international level for its support to the governments of Sudan and Zimbabwe, responsible for serious violations of human rights. In Sharm there are the presidents of both countries: Omar Al Bashir and Robert Mugabe. Although most observers careful not escape, next to the diversification of business interests, a change of policy. "China has shown in recent times to have a less one-way relationship with the Sudanese government and by the way recently in Nairobi also has established relationships with the government of South Sudan 'Casts Novati notes. "After repeatedly threatened a veto, in the end, Beijing has approved the UN resolution which provided for a peacekeeping force in Darfur. Among other things, China is one of the few countries that has maintained financial commitment to strengthen this body of peacekeeping, while many Western countries that have talked a lot when it came to voting on the resolution in opposition to the President Omar al Bashir of Sudan, have not yet done.
