DEVELOP THE CITY 'DOES IMPROVE positives and emphasize the country in June

I read today by Paolo Giacomazzi on Gazzettino in response to my speech two days ago concerning the lack of an architectural / urban

that protects the beauty of Padua to make them more attractive to tourists and citizens. Features artistic and architectural / landscape that and, above all, about our cultural traditions, cooking, crafts and trade.

Giacon in reply clings to the fact that I think like a "grandfather" and that the city has changed (huh ... yeah!) And which is "open to the outside" and not "close in a micro gold." First of all thank you for the compliment, if young people would use more common sense of our grandparents we would live in a better Italy of course!

I do not want to steal too space and then respond quickly. No one better than me because of my profession and my constant presence in the major Western capitals, you know what it means to give a face and a Padova international role. For this we have the candidate cities to host the European Agency for Tourism, EU institution, which is why we are launching the project right from Padua Cultura Viva supported by the highest national institutions. Dear

Giacon be international and open does not mean commit "architectural and urban rubbish" with the presumption to give a face "modern" to the city. These choices are the small towns not cities of the peripheral cutting of Padua, which Shakespeare himself called "Cradle of the arts and science, "and compared it to Napoleon that" the most beautiful Italian living in the open. "

Cities like Paris, Lyon, Salzburg, Monaco, London and the same, had the courage to" restore its former glory "whole areas reconstructing the old buildings demolished, with lanterns lighting the nineteenth century, streets decorated with benches and floors from the original design of the period in which they were designed. Arriving also make special kiosks in style in keeping with the history of their city. This does not happen in Padua . For the modest capacity of directors, probably the world have visited recently and superficially.

Directors that Giacon dear, you are filling the head of nonsense by architects as "screaming," I banish from Italian soil, such as those who are intervening in Padua. We welcome the great works such as the Auditorium, the revision of the Forum Boario, but are designed so Padua in respect of his innermost being "the cradle of the arts." Only in this way will get back the international role in tourism and, above all, will continue to be the beloved home of all of us Padua and the millions of tourists who come here precisely because of its ancient beauty.
