Florence, Nardella tries: mayors of art cities be allowed to overcome constraints on heritage

Overcoming the “wall of constraints on the historic-artistic heritage” to make it easier to work on buildings in cities of art: calling for measures to achieve this overcoming to be included in the simplification decree (on which the government is working) is the mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, who launched the proposal last May 29 in an episode of the Coffee Break program on La7.

“These days,” Nardella said, “the government is working on the simplification decree: this will be the government’s real political test. It can no longer be mistaken. For example, in Florence we are talking about schools: in the center of Florence, as in the historic center of many Italian cities, our schools are all constrained, they are monuments. To move a small wall I need permits from the superintendencies. To redo a facade I need landscape authorization. So let’s be clear, and don’t say you didn’t know: in the simplification decree we need to allow the mayors of cities of art, and there are so many of them in Italy, to overcome a wall of bureaucratic constraints on the historical-artistic heritage without which we could not do anything. In Florence we have the Franchi stadium, it is the historic stadium of this city: we cannot do a real and serious renovation plan because it is all constrained. So this simplification decree must give mayors clear powers on the whole front of bureaucracy, otherwise we are fooling ourselves.”
