now thought to be pacified and reconciled with the municipal administration. Actually I was just resigned to its democratic dictatorship . But now a new powerful wave of ugliness in the form of dozens of posters very massive and heavy, came to disturb even the existence of those who, like me, spends his life in a very narrow scope and only a desire to spend quiet mornings between the Eagle bar, the Market Square and the library bathrooms. This act of vandalism, this affront to the city's landscape, has awakened in me an old anger and the desire to say anything I think too much of glorifying achievements of urban Scandicci. Before giving my opinion overall, however, I think it is useful to repeat the letters I had written to some local newspapers when he began to speak for the first time of use plan.

Scandicci Viva Viva, Year I, n. 2 May 1985

To evaluate the master plan, to criticize or to express consent in a non-generic and rhetorical, but with precise and well-founded arguments, he has not raised any voice in Scandicci. I would like to express my opinion on certain aspects of the Plan, hoping to attract other fellow citizens to take action in the discussion.

The large park designed in the foothills of the beautiful and looks great on paper an idea, but I think there is reasonable doubt the capacity of the Municipality to make and maintain a park of this size, since it has not even been able to cure those poor tissues of green here and there to the town. (Two miserable little gardens, in M. Polo and Via Giotto, made at the beginning of term, have been left uncultivated for five years and cleaned for the first and last time, last August, following protests by individuals) .

But let's assume that all promises are kept and that this park is made.

To go there, the vast majority scandiccesi should make use of the car. This hillside park is too far away, while a fleet of at least medium is essential in the center of Scandicci. Mothers with children, the elderly who want to sunbathe or chill out and chat, those who want to relax away from traffic or read the newspaper, would not go to the park by car or by Rinaldi or on foot, and continue to serve, as they do now, the benches on the sidewalks. It can also dream of a park as a place for picnics, but Scandicci needs a garden close enough and friendly enough, it can be attended only by people who have spare time (one hour, two hours) to exploit.

The ideal space for a garden of this size and this function is the space between the Isolated Boccaccio and Savings Bank, just what should arise where the new center of Scandicci. This new center will deprive us beyond repair, therefore, something vital: the space for a big garden easy to reach from the main zones of Scandicci; a garden that would make a link between two parts of the city that you know and very frequent.
