Fun Wording For Western

Scandicci: from farming village to city; Gheri Simone, Mayor of Scandicci. 8 ^ p. (Part IV)

seems, in conclusion that to transform the Scandicci-dorm in a 'city' was necessary to fill the last great space was left free in the village. As I understand it, the anonymous people like me have never complained about the Scandicci-dorm. Within 500 feet have always had it all: post offices, newsagents, bars, supermarkets, banks, library, restaurants, barber shops, libraries, churches, bus stops, offices of insurance companies, unions, medical, dental offices, cinemas, petrol stations, body shops, mechanics, chemists and many other activities.

This step, now under construction, from a dormitory-Scandicci Scandicci-town has always been accompanied by a great show of cultural themes, the need for cultural renewal, a new culture of openness, attention to pressing problems citizens, and philosophical paths.
early as 1985 went on the Echo of Scandicci (which, after the publication of the letters against New Plan, ceased to exist prematurely) an article (April 11, by Sandro Beruschi) which contained (taken verbatim from a document dated 1983: 'Scandicci, proposals for the city') all the issues that were culturalist bandied about as they are in the following years until today. "Another key point [of NPR] is related to the proposal for a new way of living. Scandicci recovering city as public, in fact, it is clear that 'living' is not deemed to be alone than within the walls of your home, but to fully enjoy the city, its public places that support life 'together' (... ) Final goal of all this, of course, is to promote a better quality of life. "
And who could doubt it?
Two scholars, Roberto Aiazzi and Marco Jaff, from which I would have expected a more concrete, written on page. 143 of their book "Scandicci: from village to city" (1997): "In view of the designers choosing strategic fund was to 'fill up' with a high urban design and articulated the spaces left vacant around the Town Hall, focusing in this place all governmental functions and quality of the city. "
And after several explanations, the authors add (p. 144-145):
"are indicated six conversions and struck as many 'key words' of undoubted charm and efficiency that we report in full [I will mention a]: Scandicci promotes the development of flat (...) (...) Scandicci Scandicci becomes city offers a new way of living in public city (...) (...) Scandicci Scandicci city of culture and entertainment (...) Scandicci city of women, children and elderly. "
too kind!

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.

Scandicci: from farming village to city; Gheri Simone, Mayor of Scandicci. 8 ^ p (Second part)

The former mayor Horace Barbieri, in an official publication ('Scandicci' of 1970), recognized that "the era of the housing boom was experienced by Scandicci all its shocking tragedy. " And on pg. 79 of the publication is written: "In decades past the plane of Scandicci was like a huge vegetable garden, olive groves and vineyards surrounded by rolling hills. The new buildings have created large urbanized districts where the green is indeed poor. "
that the building boom in Scandicci had, within a decade low, a dramatic impact, the few scholars who have dealt with it openly acknowledge it, even if justified all the choices made by various local councils. Leonardo
Cipriani writes on pg. 6 of his thesis on Scandicci (2002-2003): "The transformation from rural village of Scandicci village is so atypical of the national trend. The most striking indicator is the demographic, but as you'll see the process of profound change also occurs in parallel and synergistically in the economic, social and territorial cohesion ".
short, you do not save anything.
But we hear the impressive figures of the young graduate.
"While during the years 1951-1961 the population increased by 21.04% from 1961 to 1967 the population grew by 209.64% of Scandicci. The double
of Florence!
The 18,321 inhabitants of 1961 will become in 1975, after 14 years, 52,836. Almost three times!

over 25 years, a time almost immemorial, we locals are persecuted by this refrain "No more dorm: Scandicci becomes a city." What else
you want to do? they asked the anonymous peaceful citizens to fixed salary (which were and are the overwhelming majority). Not enough damage already done? These
management considers the city as if it were made of Lego bricks, to increase in number until the saturation of each space, and combine with each other at will. The former mayor Horace
Barbieri, to whom I read the book about his experiences over partisan 'Bridges over the Arno, in the 1970 publication cited above, wrote that it was "the realization of directors" who had avoided the "total destruction of natural beauty and local "in Scandicci.
And I really believe that Horace Barbieri, in its ten years of rule, has some 'limited effects of the Nakba. This is also confirmed
Leonardo Cipriani page. 69 of his thesis: "Barbieri was chosen [to make the mayor of Scandicci], although not exactly young (55 years old) because they have the powers, authority and experience to hold, in terms of sustainable development, this tumultuous transformation. " Scandicci
If a town is still pretty decent, although it is devoid of form and decoration (but decency, in a devastated country like Italy, is a virtue), it probably is due to Barbieri and Orazio to the fact (a bit 'more important) that after Northern industries and governments around the country had been depopulated the South, was greatly reduced the flow of immigrants. But it denies
fecerunt barbarians [Barbieri et] fecerunt Barberini. After the partisan mayor, came the Pieralli Mile, the John Doddoli, the Gheri Simone.
