But before you say something on today, I would like to make one comment.
What is the most beautiful building in Scandicci? There a building (apart from a lot of charming villas of the early twentieth century) that would give good enough quality to a street or a square? Would be reminded of the old town, with its nineteenth-century structure, but it seems to me the most beautiful former school Duca degli Abruzzi, which now houses the town library. Whether you prefer the old City (1870), whether you choose the former school (late thirties), it must be said that in Scandicci at least 75 years do not build a building that we can look with pleasure. The new municipality, which I think the only building constructed (at the turn of the 60 and 70) with a certain pretentiousness, perhaps the design is not bad, but bad material, color and character too massive.
the great school-Newton Russell, built in recent years, I challenge anyone to say that it is just "watchable." It 'a real shot in the stomach. Someone told me: "Ah, but then you get used to." Yes, fortunately, you get used to everything. But get used to the ugliness of corruption is a start. In general, today, architects, planners and administrators, chasing the myth of modernity and thinking only of an ephemeral business, do not even have the ability to copy the good things that are always modern.
Old City, more than being beautiful in itself, it's great where he is, why buy enhanced by beautiful houses lined all four sides of a square that has the perfect size and create a space that can embrace with a single glance. The Municipality, through its experts and advisers, wanted to break this perfect vision and rewarding with a canopy that is in that square like a cabbage on a wedding cake. It 'the kind of new like that? And 'this modernity that we should not dismiss? And 'this innovation that cultural elites have been able to develop Scandicci?
I learned that the usual Sergio Staino, great artist and man of culture, was part of the technical committee that chose the project of the shelter. Bravo. Applause.
The press officer of the municipality, Claudio Armini, had the courage, the comic 'City Municipality' (Nov.-Dec. 2003), making a small psychoanalytic discourse in defense of the shelter: those critics, he is afraid of new changes, the person who appreciates has courage, optimism and confidence in the future. That 'psychoanalysis' is really the only argument available, when you are not able to provide evidence in support of aesthetic value. The good Armini adds that the war memorial was moved from the center of the square "for resolving a blatant contradiction of that 'warrior symbol' with the sensibilities of today, geared towards peace, against war." I do not want to comment these little syrupy concepts. I'm sorry you do not know Armini see those memorials gratitude, sorrow and remembrance. But it is clear: if the changes they decide on and approve them people of this stature and culture, the fear of the future seems to me entirely justified.
In passing, let me make an appeal to administrators: please, move the bus shelter in the square Togliatti, which is a square so great that the shelter would be there at least is to define space, to give it a shape, and are sure that it would also have a better aesthetic result.
to omit consideration of the horrid wall which acts as a Casellina embankment to the highway and that is much more Draft of the wall built in Israel by excluding the Palestinians from the occupied territories, and will not even make any criticism on that digression magnificent toy that is the tramway. This speech is, by necessity, only a concise (if boring) cahier de doléance and an overview of the city.
