asphalt and concrete between the Alps and LAGUNA
Project Motorcity on the desk of Governor Zaia
Ferruccio Sansa
Who knows what will decide the Governor "farmer." Luca Zaia has yet to show his idea of \u200b\u200bthe new Veneto, must make it clear whether it will continue on the path of his predecessor, who is also Minister of Agriculture, but he has cemented his land.
Zaia soon arrive on the desk of a project that will clear 460 hectares of fields and change forever the Veronese countryside: the circuit of Motorcity, a project launched years ago by the company Chicco Gnutti and Gianpiero Fiorani ... yes, the scoundrels of the neighborhood . The autodir ro mo will be one of the greatest works in the Veneto region, together with Mestre and Mose. So far, the League has failed, but now it's up to you to decide. We
Vigasio Trevenzuolo and, in the province of Verona. A one hundred and fifty kilometers from Monza and Imola, two historic circuits in this period do not fare too well.
Yeah, the automotive industry is in crisis, the Formula 1 reel and tip over Asia where money and run flourishing ski on artificial islands. Well, what do you do in Veneto? A 5.2 km long racetrack for more than a billion of investment.
But the point is above another, go Vigasio to realize this. To the north on a clear day you can see the Alps in the east to the Laguna bleaching the sky. Around it is plain to the eye, the land thick, dark absorbs everything in its color.
We are on the border between the Veneto and Lombardy, where the league has its roots, rural and urban. Now, however, the image that you have before sovrapponetene another: that of the Raceway future elaborated in "rendering" of Architects ( www.motorcityvr.it ). Here, instead of the campaign will see the snake of asphalt of the track. But the bulk of the project, and the deal, is in the mall by 769,000 square meters, the theme park of 350 thousand square meters (twice that of the nearby Gardaland), the technological center (268,000 square meters), in hotels, unmissable restaurants and homes. Then toll, roads and subways. In short, cement.
"It 's a huge project that threatens to upset our countries, and Vigasio Trevenzuolo, to be devoured by Motorcity, become an appendage of the runway," she sighs Caesar Nicolis.
Its history tells of many things today that Veneto has the records of the shipyards, but also of the committees. Nicolis is a former bank manager, one who can handle budgets and at 59 decided to retire to devote himself to his homeland. In your archive contains thousands of pages with the strange story otorcit M y From the beginning, when there was a competition between the towns of the Veneto region in order to award the project. Vigasio Trevenzuolo and won. E 'in July 2004 when Earchimede and Draco are referred to as the company which made the work. Behind the project can be glimpsed Emilio Gnutti, Hopa, the population of Lodi led by Gianpiero Fiorani and Unipol, in short, the protagonists of climbing in summer 2005. The Gnutti dream, which divides the heart between finance and motors is realized. Meanwhile, however, the project will change the face: growing up the buildings around the track. The rest of the story is written in an overview of Motorcity Chambers: the scoundrels go belly up, and so the circuit goes into other hands. Today
to hold the reins are cooperatives. But the companies are also local. Even the Veneto Region
. Government that acts with a hand sign with another company and building permits. And the project goes ahead, despite the doubts. The same Giancarlo Galan, the Governor said: "That project does not convince me." But while the region from clear.
Despite the shadows of environmental impact assessments . Cards that perhaps the residents of Vigasio Trevenzuolo and do not know. The company which made promises that Motorcity reach up to 106,483 people on weekdays and on holidays will touch 180,995 admissions. Many visitors
money, certainly, but also pollution. And in June 2008 Arpav put on paper its cautions: "The impact assessment with respect to the Pm10 appears to be strongly underestimated. From our estimates the increase in traffic - even creating transport systems like the Metro - implies increased
emissions of six times. " We speak of particulate matter, fine particles, those pollutants that cause cancer if they finish in the lungs. Threatening especially the elderly and children. The project, however, goes on. Trawl and the promise of jobs. Motorcity are some investors, "will employ 15 000 people." Possible. Hard to say if the calculation takes into account the jobs would be lost in agriculture, or Monza, Imola and Gardaland. The population is divided Vigasio.
And politics. The center supports (in the former company directors also sit on the PDL), while the center is not. Beppe Grillo meet up and her fought against the track. At
elections Vigasio, in March, won the PDL (41.4%), was reelected mayor Daniela Contri who has never made any secret of his sympathies for Motorcity (which among other things, heal the public purse with the infrastructure costs):
"E 'a great opportunity for the City and land owners. Today there is a field of corn, pull off the polenta polenta ... ... Agriculture has great potential. " Maurizio
Fountains, president of the Province of Mantua (Pd), Motorcity instead is fighting against for years: "We are one of the most fertile areas of Italy, here are farmed for 17 percent of pigs, it produces 23 percent Grana Padano. Do you realize the impact that would have on our earth a hundred thousand people a day? ". Mantova, however, is in Lombardy. Within walking distance of Motorcity, but beyond the invisible line that divides regions. In short, it risks having to endure the decisions made in Venice.
Now everything hangs on an appeal to the TAR by Mantua. The line will Zaia. Nicolis Caesar meanwhile looks around, looks at the landscape or perhaps imagine the future landscape, with the towers of the Venetian countryside accompanied by the towers dell'autod ro m o.
