Quality of life in Castelnuovo.

E 'these days, the annual classification made by the "Sole 24 ore" to indicate the city where life is better. This year was winning the city of Siena followed closely by Trieste, also winner of last year. Third and fourth places go to Bolzano and Trento. In Bologna lifts gaining two positions and stands at fifth place, while they are down in Milan and Rome, one that loses two positions, moving from fourth to sixth place, losing the other four places down to 19th place. The cities of the south still have the black shirt of this ranking.
us? Here, Castelnuovo, as will be classified? I'll never ask you?
The other day I was with my wife to the market, as of Tuesday, that gets in the clearing behind the cemetery. I try to park your car, but I see now that it is not air. There is no room even for a scooter! I get my wife going to park and go on later, much later, until the stationery Muniz. Doing the slalom between the cars parked along the street without sidewalk (via Rome), I'll walk to the market to help my wife to carry the shopping bags. I come in conjunction with a "task force" brigade (a foreman and two traffic warden rampant, "zero tolerance") che subito si dispongono a fare una raffica di multe. Riuscite ad immaginare lo spirito di chi è venuto al mercato per risparmiare un po' e poi si ritrova a dover pagare una bella multa salata? E questo non per colpa sua ma, piuttosto, di chi ha posizionato il mercato in un'area inadeguata, sia per gli spazi offerti ai venditori, sia per l'impossibilità di parcheggiare le auto. Molte volte ho rinunciato a fare la spesa in questo mercato per queste difficoltà e con me, per quanto ne so, molti altri.
Gli amministratori di Castelnuovo continuano a non capire, che la dislocazione urbanistica di questo paese obliga all'uso dell'auto, pertanto dove ci sono servizi pubblici e privati vanno, altresì, previste aree di parcheggio, in misura adeguata.
Recentemente, i Servizi Demografici del Comune sono stati sistemati sulla Flaminia, negli ex uffici del Giudice di Pace. Conoscendo l'intasamento giornaliero di quella zona, qualcuno si è chiesto dove andranno a parcheggiare l'auto, quei cittadini, che avranno bisogno di chiedere un certificato o una nuova carta d'identità? Certo che no? Gli amministratori, anche quì, si limiteranno a inviare una “task force” di vigili e vigilesse!.....e il cittadino?....si arrangi!

Allergy Test Results, Level 3




18 Dicembre 2006

Mi ci è caduto l'occhio!
This we see in the picture is the slope created by the construction of the connector, which connects the Flaminia road that leads to Montecalcara.
Shortly after its construction, which occurred about two years ago, the bank collapsed going to cover the almost totally below the pedestrian lane.
How is it possible that the City has not been realized so far to what has happened?
Why was there no intervention?
The work, which I imagine have been contracted out to a construction,
are not covered under warranty?
were disputed construction company responsible? or are we waiting for the expiry of the warranty?
I do not think an example of good administration ....... or not?

CASTELNUOVO FOR A NEW SCHOOL!

The City Council of 30 November last year, among other things, there was talk of settling the budget. The opposition has joked on derecognition of items relating to public works (such as the Polo School, Theatre Area, the new football field, etc..), which fits into this administration for years budgets, without ever achieve. The Department of Cultural Policy, Romolo Bali, relatively speaking at the Polo School and the amount of € 15 million provided for its construction, was launched in the defense of the project by declaring it perfectly in line with the needs of a modern school, seen that existing buildings do not allow further expansion in order to adapt the structures to the increased school population and the increased demands of modern education.
intervention councilor Bali seemed typical of the approach dialectic of certain politicians, who put in the mouths of opponents claim that was never made you think, this statement tacking on a nice controversy. Of course, a citizen who listens and does not have complete information can not disagree with the arguments of polemicists and think, then, that his adversaries are insane. This approach, besides being, in my opinion, morally reprehensible, does not give citizens the ability to create correct opinion on issues that concern him. It should be clear that no one denies the need for a new school of Castelnuovo, but many question the answer, that this Administration wants to impose on citizens. La decisione di dove collocare un'opera pubblica di così grande rilevanza sociale com'é una scuola materna, elementare e media, non può essere presa da un limitato gruppo di persone in base a discutibili e peraltro ignoti criteri, senza coinvolgere i cittadini. L'assessore Bali, anche in quest'occasione, ha tenuto a ribadire di avere avuto l'assenso della Dirigenza scolastica. A suo tempo il Dirigente scolastico chiarì allo scrivente che c'era stato un suo coinvolgimento solo riguardo la definizione delle esigenze didattiche, certamente non avrebbe avuto titolo per dare pareri sulla scelta della collocazione degli edifici scolastici, la cui responsabilità fa capo strettamente all' Amministrazione e alla comunità cittadina. Bali continues in the technique of smoke to avoid discussing the problem that many people only want to discuss: is right or not right centralize all schools, kindergarten, elementary and middle pole in one place on the road to Montefiore, with an intermediate distance between the Flaminia and the Tiber, in the country and far from any town? The alternative supported by many is to continue to have two schools, a village located in Vigna Grande (near the so-called "Balloon", where you want to build the new sports field, but that would be fine, in my opinion, Located in the area planned for the school) in the other area to be defined, between barycentric Pontestorto, Pheasant's Hill, Green Hill.
The logic is to have school buildings as close as possible to potential users, thereby reducing the need for motorized transport of students. The construction of a new school is, as we have seen a significant financial commitment (15 million euro!), So there can be no mistakes. A wrong decision would be difficult to repair. We still have time to discuss it! We set aside part of stubbornness and organize a conference, extended to experts and citizens!
begin to put into practice the spirit of the Charter of Aalborg, who has joined our City!
the end whatever the decision that will be reached, sarà comunque una decisione presa a ragion veduta e largamente condivisa.

Agenda 21 ?....ma mi faccia il piacere!

Il 16 Giugno 2005, tre signore, Rita Bongarzone, Agata Venturini e Tecla Palmili, si presentarono all'ufficio protocollo del Comune di Castelnuovo e depositarono una petizione firmata da 130 residenti dei centri di Montelungo e Montecalcara.
La raccolta delle firme per la petizione era stata fatta dalle stesse signore, attraverso un lodevole e faticoso porta a porta.
La petizione chiedeva al Sindaco Massimo Lucchese di farsi parte attiva for the upgrading of urban and Montelungo Montecalcara to improve the safety and quality of life of residents.
In particular the following requirements:
1.
The enlargement of the Flaminia road access at the Monte-in Montelungo Calcara;
(to allow the creation of slip lanes and eliminate the risk of collision situation exists today for those who Flaminia in the direction of the turn-Montelungo Montecalcara, and who, on the contrary coming from that area must be entered on the Flaminia: Many accidents have already occurred, most recently involving a bus)
2. Creating a parking area of \u200b\u200bexchange and a walkway for access to the station Riano for residents of the area;
(now the cars are parked along street or road Montelungo Giammarile and the station is reached by entering the premises and railway walking along the rails, among others breaking the law!)
3. Recreational area with garden and soccer field for kids.
(young people today do not have any recreational space and find themselves playing in the street raising the ire of some residents, repeatedly invited the Mayor to blame and not the kids!)
on 20 June 2005 by the same gentleman was requested and obtained a meeting with the Mayor. In the meeting also resolved to the budget commissioner, the ladies illustrated the importance of achieving what was requested in the petition. All agreed that the first two points require coordination with other agencies but it was agreed also on the need by the municipality of Castelnuovo is actively involved the necessary steps. The commissioner
resolved as owner of the land affected by the requested extension of the Flaminia, declared, generously, to be ready for a free supply if this could speed up implementation.
exchange for parking and pedestrian walkway in During the interview were even identified the possible locations.
As for the soccer field with a garden, the area identified, already assigned to public parks, it was just to clean up the brambles, and equipped.
"Consider it already done," said the Mayor.
For the rest by 2006, still, we hope to fix everything!
Today we are at the end of 2006 and June 2005 that has been over a year. Nothing has happened. Neither the mayor felt his moral duty to turn up with the aforementioned Mr. and indirectly with the 130 signatories of the petition, informing them, where appropriate, on the state of things.
Questo Sindaco è lo stesso capo della Giunta, che ci vuol far credere di voler adottare l'Agenda21 locale a Castelnuovo di Porto?
Ma chi vogliono prendere in giro?

AGENDA 21 a Castelnuovo !
Una politica di Sviluppo Sostenibile condivisa con i cittadini o.... l'ennesima presa in giro da parte di Lucchese & C. ?

Di Agenda 21, a Castelnuovo, si cominciò a parlare nel 2002, quando per opera dello scrivente, quale responsabile del gruppo locale dell'associazione ambientalista “Fare Verde”, fu redatto ed affisso un manifesto in cui si urged the City Council to adhere to the Aalborg Charter and engage citizens in a far-reaching project for sustainable development, shared in the country.
That same year, May 25, sponsored by the local group to make green and Legambiente Castelnuovo, they organized a panel discussion on "An environmental policy for Castelnuovo: the complaint of environmental emergencies in the planning of a shared sustainable development", in during which the then national president of Be Green, the late Paul Hills, spoke of the cultural revolution represented by the process of Agenda 21 which, where implemented seriously, radically changed the relationship between citizens and administration Municipal.
The message fell, however, to an audience unprepared and out of a class of directors, as well as being uninformed, was disinclined to give up management "reserved" for public affairs and thus to a piece of power. The same local press did not catch the 'importance of the proposal and gave it special emphasis.
In recent elections, despite all the talk of environment and sustainable development that it was a bit across the board election, only one list enter the process of implementation of Local Agenda 21, as its key point of the program: Alliance for Castelnuovo .
It was therefore with surprise and pleasure that the March 11, 2005, which invited Making Green representative at the meeting of the Commission of Public Works and Environment, the commissioner listened Baldelli informed those present that in a preview to the forthcoming meeting of the Board to approve the membership of the municipality of Castelnuovo in the Aalborg Charter, as a prerequisite for the activation of a process of Local Agenda 21 and participation, together with the Municipality of Riano, the Notice of the Province of Rome, for the granting of financial assistance on.
I would have expected that the Administration had begun to do a bit of information to increase awareness of the contents and values \u200b\u200bof the Aalborg Charter and the new concepts of governance and in particular on the attention to be put to the right of citizens to participate actively in the policies and local decisions. None of this has been done.
In an interview on "New" Councillor Baldelli ago, however, important statement: "The priority (Local Agenda 21 in Castelnuovo) is to start a real process of direct participation of citizens in political community. "I take note!
Activate and then implement a process of Local Agenda 21 is a difficult and complex. Become aware of this is already an important step to have any chance of success. The next step is to get the maximum involvement of citizens. Give a great resonance to the decision to join the Charter of Aalborg with posters and conferences to explain the content and values, would be a proper approach and correct. There was neither appropriate nor proper, given the symbolic importance of the event, get it approved by the Executive alone, without involving the entire City Council!
It would also correct and in keeping with the spirit of Agenda 21, if the proposed project to participate in the announcement of the Province of Rome, had been discussed and shared by all the directors, majority and minority. And already, why not involved in this project, even the Opposition, in whose banks sit among others, representatives of that list, which alone had inserted Agenda 21 in his election program?
These signals are in the negative, that report, unfortunately, a certain amount of cultural arrogance and immaturity, that do not accord with the principles of the Charter of Aalborg and the initiation of due process of the Agenda 21.
On April 3, 2006 it was announced that the affiliated municipalities of Castelnuovo and Riano are back on the list for the allocation of funding by the Province of Rome for the activation of a process of Local Agenda 21. The amount of funding for the two municipalities is € 42,643.00.
The loan, according to the rules of the competition, can not exceed 70% of the total project cost, therefore it is likely that, in total (for Riano and Castelnuovo), amounts to no less than € 60,000.00.
We are not aware that the proportion of Castelnuovo (at least € 10,000.00) was made in the budget, at least it's not been with this exact destination. It would not be helpful to talk in the City Council and decide together in opposition, as allocated to this important project?
Now there is money, and soon (within 60 days. And then being informed of the funding by June 3rd ed.) The municipality must report formally to the Province of Rome, the activities they will undertake to implement the project and the start date thereof, to be completed, strictly within 18 months, failing to return del finanziamento.
Non sappiamo quali siano le attività a cui gli attuali amministratori stanno pensando, ricordiamo loro, però, quanto era indicato nel programma elettorale di “Alleanza per Castelnuovo”:
attivazione di un Forum civico, costituito da istituzioni, soggetti economici, associazioni ambientaliste, culturali, sindacali ecc., con lo scopo di orientare il processo di Agenda 21 e monitorarne l'applicazione;
elaborazione da parte di esperti di un “Rapporto sullo Stato dell'Ambiente”, che diventerà base della discussione da parte del Forum per la redazione del Piano di Azione Ambientale;
definizione di Obiettivi, concreti e quantificabili, e formulazione di un ordine di priorità. Objectives and priorities must be translated into programs and deadlines;
definition of "Environmental Action Plan" that is the set of concrete programs and activities to be implemented in a given period, together with a statement of responsibility and financial resources;
monitoring, evaluation and updating of the Action Plan: are the control procedures to verify the outcome of activities and their results, and any improvement works
L 'APAT (Agency for Environmental Protection and the Technical Services) has published a handbook to help those who are engaged in a process of Local Agenda 21. In this book, easily downloadable from the site web dell'Agenzia stessa, sono raccolte le indicazioni che l'esperienza fatta da centinaia di enti locali, in Italia, in Europa e in America, ha consentito di delineare per attivare con successo un processo di Agenda 21 locale.
Fra l'altro, a proposito del che fare nei progetti di attivazione, si fanno le seguenti raccomandazioni, che mi permetto ricordare ai nostri amministratori:
Agenda 21 non deve diventare il giocherello dell'assessore all'ambiente, ma nel processo deve essere coinvolta l'intera giunta, perchè lo sviluppo sostenibile ha risvolti non solo ambientali ma anche sociali ed economici. Il manuale suggerisce che sia il Sindaco in prima persona a coordinare le attività di Agenda 21;
Buona parte dei fondi assegnati for activation, as well as the necessary information and public awareness, should be undertaken to create through the use of outside consultants, technical knowledge within the administration (as a set of officials and technical experts) who will in the years to come to develop the Agenda 21 process, independently, without incurring more costs of specialists agreed that the Agenda 21 process is a long process that will survive many years, hopefully, to several administrations
In the delicate phase of definition of the participants the Forum, the involvement of individual citizens or stakeholders and associations, should be as broad as possible.

Who's afraid of our traditions?
(Christmas 2004)

During the pastoral visit by our Bishop wanted to underline the increasingly neglected, spiritual and cultural content of the feast of Christmas, was also planned a meeting with elementary school students and the school of Castelnuovo di Porto.
The decision was not appreciated by some teachers, contrary to the visit of the bishop, who raised an issue of the secular state school and state, and the need not to offend the religious sentiment of pupils of other faiths.
The Scientific Committee, asked to examine the problem, it is split in two between those for and against the authorization to be given to the Bishop. Finally, the Council of the Institute has suggested to the school manager, to prohibit access to the school of Bishop, fearing possible disruption to the teaching of complaints from parents of pupils of different religions than Catholic.
Following an intervention by the Head teacher at Monsignor Perla has arrived at a compromise solution, which was to limit the meeting with the Bishop to only two classes, one elementary school, another middle school , both characterized by the fact that, within them, all pupils followed the time religion.
These are the facts. Now let me make some calm consideration.
In elementary and middle school of Castelnuovo, the vast majority (95%) of pupils following the lessons of religion. Having allowed only some of them meeting with his spiritual guide, what 'is the Bishop for the Catholics, was an unjustified and unreasonable discrimination.
As with religion classes where those who are exempted moves temporarily in another room, so in this case would have been sufficient to assemble the ten children of other religions or atheists in a classroom and arrange for them an hour with the 'care of some teacher (would not be difficult, given the environment, find a voluntary non-affected encounter with the bishop!).
Regarding the hypothesis (or threat) to the proposed school manager should he allowed to enter school at Bishop's complaint of a possible disruption to teaching, by a parent of these kids, it seems completely ridiculous because I see many other reasons for the complaint to stop teaching, the parents should do at school. For example we have ever wondered what it is right to make payment or field trips to school, where part of the whole class? And the non-participation is due to the difficulty most often by parents to pay the fee request.
And, if staying on the subject, rightly, are considered important to make certain experiences from the students, such as excursions, camps, participation in theatrical performances, and so I do not see why, in the same way, the intervention of an authoritative person, a member of a religious culture in which our civilization is based, should not be viewed positively, even from a didactic point of view, as a moment of reflection stimulating for pupils.
For myself I would not have anything to say if the occasion of Ramadan (the main Islamic feast) was an Imam to explain to the students (even those Christians!) The meaning of that celebration.
But the truth is that behind all these controversies there are atheists or parents concerned about other religions of the minds of their children ..... no! there are only, perhaps, ideological speculations of some teachers and a good part of the Council of the Institute. At least this is what we seem to perceive from the outside. On the other hand, it must be said, though today the majority of parents do not feel represented by this collective body due to the fact that it was, shamefully, a fugitive at the time of that election.
Now, these people are exploiting the presence of a few pupils from other religions to launch, under the pretext of defending the secular state schools and the need to not offend non-Christians, an unjustified attack on our spiritual and cultural traditions.
Non dobbiamo permetterlo!
Stato laico non vuol dire Stato ateo! La nostra Costituzione dice che non c'è una religione di Stato ma che tutte le religioni devono essere ugualmente riconosciute e rispettate.
Pertanto non si tratta di estromettere dalla scuola di Stato le tradizioni cristiane ma, piuttosto, di accogliere e far conoscere altre tradizioni culturali e religiose.
Solo chi ha grande rispetto per le proprie tradizioni può capire e rispettare quelle altrui.
Quest'anno si è interrotta, nella scuola elementare, la tradizione del Presepio fatto dai bambini, e la recita di Natale sarà incentrata sul racconto di Pinocchio. Anche queste decisioni sono state prese dalle insegnanti con la motivazione di non offendere the feeling of some students of the Islamic faith. Justification rejected by those Muslims, who have on several occasions stated that Mary and Jesus are venerated in the Koran and that if there is a moment of communion between the two religions, this is precisely given by the Nativity, with its universal message of peace .
Muslims have realized that they can not expect them to defend their religious beliefs and their cultural traditions by those who lack respect for their own.
Finally, an episode similar to what happened in Castelnuovo, occurred in Riano. Even there, the Headmaster had no access to the school of Bishop, but a deeply felt and widespread protests by parents forced him to revise the decision allowing the end, the meeting of the prelate with the students.
Castelnuovo, unfortunately, lacked the widespread protests of parents and this is another episode to be ascribed to the increasing apathy with which the citizens of this country, they face problems in the city.
Many justify their rebelliousness to be involved with the desire not to be "labeled" politically.
They still do not understand that those who lack the courage of his ideas, he finds himself having to endure those of others.

The bluff Lucchese
(local elections in June 2004)

Con un’improvvisa solerzia nell’asfaltare strade, costruire fontane, inaugurare acquedotti(peraltro iniziati da altre amministrazioni), Lucchese cerca, ancora una volta, di prendere in giro i cittadini e far dimenticare cinque anni negativi per Castelnuovo e positivi solo per la speculazione edilizia.

Siamo in campagna elettorale, è il momento dei programmi e delle facili promesse, che poi resteranno sulla carta.
Ho trovato in un cassetto il programma amministrativo presentato da Lucchese nelle elezioni comunali del 1999, dallo stesso vinte per mancanza di concorrenti, eliminati per “vizi di forma” all’atto della presentazione delle liste.
In tempi where are all the rage contracts with voters, I felt it was going to see if the dr. Lucchese had honored her.
Here are some points of the program, what they promised and what was actually achieved.
School
For the school promised to build a new one in the sports field, on two floors: the ground floor would have found a place kindergarten, elementary school on the first floor. The school eventually would have found a place in the former headquarters of the elementary school
Nothing was done about all this, in exchange, the sports field has been eliminated and, in part, was used to place a series of containers to house the municipal offices.
for school but now, at the end of the mandate, there is talk of a school campus that would collect in one place the nursery and primary schools of the city center and along the Crooked Bridge Middle School, located near the upstream Tufello along the Montefiore Road, not far from the Tiber. It appears that you have made an agreement to acquire the 22 acres should be granted in return for the landowner's permission to build 8 more acres of farmland bordering, and was finally commissioned a conceptual design of the structure, recently presented, with great emphasis , on the insert city of "The New". Without considering the merits of the decision, which still sees us firmly against, and explain the reasons in another article in this newspaper, there seems only right, by an administration that has presented itself with a project in the elections, and that project is likely to have found public support , motivate a rethinking of such great scope and involve the citizens in decision-making, given the importance that such a project from a social point of view, urban, besides financial.
But none of this happened: As on other occasions (eg the so-called Theater Area) nationals was only informed of decisions taken.
Master Plan
"The variation of the outgoing administration's proposed General Plan was not adopted by the City Council.
The reasons are many: the speed - and therefore the superficiality - with which the act is supposed to conclude definitely the most 'important of a municipality, one that affects the structural evolution and development, and its formulation in the imminence of elections without verification and large, widespread and comprehensive needs of all citizens, the lack of consistent design lines of land transformation that reconcile livability and quality of life and encouraging local economic development; ... ... ... last minute addition of land to be directed at industrial sites without any justification or verification. "
What I have just transcribed in quotation marks, not my comment to variation by Lucchese is the controversial comment that the program administration, the then Daisy Civic List, was done on the variant presented and approved at the end of the mandate, the junta Paradisi.
One can not but note that Lucchese behaved exactly like the Paradise, which had once criticized.
Environment
The objective was established to carry out a survey on the state of the environment of the territory of Castelnuovo, in order to provide a coherent framework on which to intervene.
Among the things to do, in addition, there was to prioritize the initiatives to be undertaken in order to reconcile environmental protection and balanced regional development, besides testing the most advanced mode of waste separation also in view of creation of new jobs lavoro.Di all this was not done nothing!
Moreover, about collection this in our town, reached a paltry 2% of total waste, compared to 35% Ronchi set by law. Economic development and employment

Among the things to do was highlight the identification of an ecologically-equipped to be directed at production plants.
From the quote in the version submitted to the Plan and approved by the City Council at the end of the mandate and in close elections, it is clear that Lucchese continues to aim to create an industrial zone where it is already present in the Conference Centre of Civil Protection, taking into disregarded the results of the Tiber River Basin Plan Excerpt (PS1), which is indicated as an area of \u200b\u200bflooding of the Tiber, and therefore subject to special bond, which forbids "any processing activities state of the sites (morphological, infrastructure, construction). "
The flood area is the area used to flood in case of flooding of the Tiber, by limiting the level of the same full, thereby avoiding further damage downstream in this case to Rome. The tragedy
Vajont has already been forgotten and there are still people who believe that
the findings of studies by experts are just paper.
try to stop them now! Then, a tragedy, there will be room only for a few films and useless recriminations.

Mega school campus: an attack on the quality of life of children and the environment
Alternative proposal: two new learning centers in the area of \u200b\u200bVigna Grande and Ponte Storto, in line with the standards of sustainable development.

The school buildings of Castelnuovo di Porto, today, consists of buildings in the city center is located both in the village of Pontestorto.
In the urban center we have the three-storey building dating from the early twenties located in Via Roma 5, granting the state nursery school, community and primary school; the two-storey building located in Via A. De Gasperi, which houses the middle school. The population of
Pontestorto have a low building on a floor in "Le Terrace, which houses the state nursery school, a low building on a floor in "S. Lucia, "which houses the elementary school.
The total school population is 860 students (as 2003/2004), of which approximately 30% residing in Pontestorto and neighboring areas. Of these about 250 are nursery schools (state and municipal), about 350 are primary, the rest (about 260) are averages.
The current structures, even now, are not adapted to the present school population. In the last 4 years, there has been an increase in students of about 10% a year, and it is expected that the growth trend of hard in the coming years.
Buildings Via Roma and Via De Gasperi, have already exhausted the possibilities of expansion, is still inadequate as well as classrooms for respect, gyms, labs and indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing. Moreover, the known problems of traffic and parking that afflict Castelnuovo, suggest to bring the schools outside the city center.
The proposal approved by the City Council to build a school campus Montefiore on the road halfway between the center and Pontestorto, which would be pooled in the five school buildings of today may seem at first sight, the best solution in terms of optimization services and functionality of educational facilities and directional.
Further analysis of the territory concerned and the dissemination of the settlements, located near the city center (think Montelungo Cardeto Monte, Monte Calcara Pozzolana Mount, Mount Rose, etc..) Immediately makes clear the need for a large number of children long distances on school buses, which already have more than 30 minutes and become much higher (now a child of average coming out of school at 13:55, arrives home to Montelungo at 14:30 , the same child in the morning, took the school bus at 7:30 to get to school at 8:00).
is not difficult to imagine how much more time will it take to go five more kilometers on a dangerous road, because narrow and full of curves, as the "Montefiore, where the traffic is destined in the near future, to increase, especially in the early morning hours, is expected to flow into or highway at the opening of the new toll, both in the flow of cars to the court, that 'Administration has unwisely and without any prior environmental impact assessment, established in the city center. In fact it is known that the most important catchment area for this court is represented by Monterotondo, and then had to find its natural position near the "Tiber".
kindergartens, primary and secondary schools are in the tradition and town planning legislation, placed as close as possible to the settlements they serve, to avoid long distances and allow, where possible, the achievement of school children walk by.
Today, only 355 students on benefits of 860 school buses, the other side to reach the school by private car, and some are lucky enough to live near the school and reach on foot. What will happen with the school in the countryside away from all residential areas? How many school buses are needed? How many parents decide to continue to accompany their child in the car? What are the consequences of traffic Montefiore?
All this, moreover, is incompatible with the standards of sustainable development, indicating the need to design and locate facilities to reduce the need for mobility for citizens.
Recall that the Flaminia in less than 10 km there are three countries (Riano, Castelnuovo and Morley), each with its nursery, primary and secondary schools; it is difficult to understand why two settlements (urban and Pontestorto Castelnuovo Centre) 10 km away, where consider the village, but a few kilometers further if we consider the settlements Montelungo Cardeto Monte, Monte Calcara and Mount Rose, should have a single school campus in common, although it may be advantageous for respect to certain economies of scale in administration and teaching, will probably more uncomfortable for children and increase the cost to families, if you will have to rely on a greater number of school buses and their drivers, to decrease the discomfort to deal with unacceptable long paths.
Another reason, far from secondary, which leads us to challenge the placement of a mega school campus in the countryside on the road "Montefiore" derives from the apparent danger that we see you to give way to urbanization and the consequent overbuilding of this street full of fascinating rural landscapes, it is the duty of every citizen to preserve even to the enjoyment of Castelnuovo their children.
That this danger is not theoretical is shown by the fact that the City needed to acquire the area of \u200b\u200b22 hectares, has not hesitated to grant the land owner to grant a subdivision for an additional 8 acres contiguous. It is not difficult to imagine that if we allow this subdivision will be followed ... .... On the other hand, we know, the demand for homes is strong, and have very strong interests and "pressure" in place to promote them.
We must do everything possible to block the attempt to urbanize the road Montefiore and cemented with the false argument of sociologists "by accident" that should "integrate" Pontestorto !
An alternative proposal provides for the continuation of two educational centers: one located in area
Vigna Grande subservience to the old town, and the neighboring settlements along the Via Flaminia, the other located between barycentrically Pontestorto, Pheasant Hill and Green Hill.
Both the schools are close to residential areas, from which, by providing appropriate pedestrian and cycle paths, it will be possible to reach their schools by a large number of children walking or cycling. This is in line with the standards of sustainable development already mentioned.
This solution should also be seen in the context of a new urban vision, which also propose to Castelnuovo and which can be summarized in the motto "one town, two centers," which sees Ponte Storto, not as an amorphous fraction of Castelnuovo device, but as a second urban center built with green hills, and Pheasant Hill will have its own economic development and social, triggered by the opening of the motorway, will be accompanied by appropriate urban and architectural design of social spaces (squares, gardens etc..) and the necessary services (schools, cemetery, etc..), for that quality of life , to which the citizens of Pontestorto, Green Hill and Hill Pheasant they are entitled.
fact the motorway is expected and desirable that will blow Ponte Storto's economy, leading to establishment of commercial activities ed'artigianato and then an increase of the local population, which is expected within less than 10 years will account for over 50% of the total population of the territory of Castelnuovo, with over 5000 inhabitants. It foreshadows a Castelnuovo
then "high" burden on "Flaminia", near the Park of Veii where you should give impetus to agro-pastoral activities, tourism, crafts and cultural Castelnuovo and a "low" (Ponte Storto, Colle Verde, Pheasant Hill), which gravitates to the "Tiber", which will be developed, mainly businesses and great craftsmanship.

VARIANT GENERAL COMMENTS ON THE PLAN GOVERNOR Castelnuovo di Porto.


attention to environmental issues can not be relegated to only inside the protected areas of the territory but any project, what is also a variant to the Plan shall bear the cost of environmental protection requirements.
A race car on the road Montefiore, leading to the village of Pontestorto is a continuous flow of changing landscapes and breathtaking views between hills and valleys. Everything, again, fortunately, almost intact. ... For how long? Castelnuovo
Immediately after the war had about 1500 inhabitants, today it has more than 7500, and that as a result of a proliferation of peripheral housing estates, away from downtown and dissemination of a single-family development in the area, which unfortunately gives the first of the Castelnuovo surrounding municipalities, the employment ratio of land per capita. This dispersion creates
urban as well as problems of social cohesion, higher costs in municipal services (school buses, garbage collection, etc..), Not to mention real threat to the environment, although it is true that most the discharges of waste water is dispersed into the ground, with imaginable consequences in terms of groundwater pollution.
In line with the need for environmental protection, a Master Plan should encourage the concentration of masses, as this reduces the consumption of soil and minimizes the cost of infrastructures to the network.
structures for movement on the territory and for moments of socialization have remained virtually the same as when Castelnuovo had 1500 inhabitants lack adequate roads, parking lots, meeting spaces open and closed, such as a theater next to the city center ( and 10 km away, as will the so-called Theater Area!) worthy a resident population, is increasingly characterized by a strong demand for participation in the cultural and social life of the city.

What gives answers to these issues to the Option Plan, recently adopted by the City Council? In
change here they are: it triggered a wider range of areas to build, a bit 'here a little' there, without clear evidence of logical planning, (but probably follow other logics!), Which will lead to further dissemination of houses in the area; planning some parking, it offers an improbable and pointless tunnel, along with another in the street is unlikely and unnecessary 'Cesar; you plan to "patch up" the village of Pontestorto, with the urban center (10km. away!) locating a mega school campus (22 acres!) for Kindergartens, elementary and middle, about halfway, and payment of land needed it gives the owner the allotment of a further 8 acres of land adjoining, in return you place the new sports field near the old town after putting the court in the center itself.

What benefits will accrue to Castelnuovo? Their quality of life? What prospects for socio-economic and environmental sustainability are behind this variation?

We did not understand. We realized only today that there is a possibility you can build almost everywhere, except in areas where there were already close links, the road Montefiore will become impassable, especially in the early morning hours, and for the expected flow to or from the highway, and for the flow of cars into the court (it is known that the catchment area is the largest town of Monterotondo!) and for the many school buses that will travel to reach the mega school campus and, finally, for the traffic from the new settlements, there will to affect.

Remember? For years, the Mayor told us that he could not avoid fake farmers, farms, building mock-ups on agricultural areas, because LR 38/99 which was to regulate the matter was deferred by the Region, and therefore it is not possible to apply it, had their hands tied.
In fact, the law had been suspended to allow time for municipalities to determine, according to the crops concerned, the business units minimum set by the law in order to obtain benefits of rural residences, which adds the norm, not , however, exceed the ratio of 0.01 square meters per square meter, up to a maximum of 300 square meters for each lot. This
in the likeness of what has been done in other regions for some time.
As an explanatory example (taken from the Internet, ed.), In the municipality of Reggello (FI), the minimum agricultural business units have been established in:
A.0,8 ha. per colture ortoflorovivaistiche;
B.3,0 ha. per vigneti e frutteti in coltura specializzata;
C. 4,0 ha. per oliveto in coltura specializzata e seminativo irriguo;
D. 6,0 ha. per colture seminative, seminativo erborato, prato, prato irriguo;
E.30,0 ha. per bosco ad alto fusto, bosco misto, pascolo, pascolo erborato e castagneto da frutto;
F.50,0 ha. per bosco ceduo e pascolo cespugliato.

I nostri amministratori, incredibilmente, non hanno fatto nulla di tutto questo ed oggi nelle zone agricole chi ha 10000 mq di terreno, può continuare indisturbato, secondo la nuova “Variante”, a fare il finto agricoltore e costruirsi la finta fattoria. Nella fretta to satisfy a bit 'all the votes and pick up left and right (and not just to say!), our friends have forgotten to read another paragraph of the said law, stating that in case of default by municipalities in defining small business units, the building permit on agricultural land must be entered for a minimum lot 30000mq.

The village of Castelnuovo, hinges on Piazza Vittorio Veneto, practically the same when the center of the village had 1500 inhabitants. Today, with about 8000 inhabitants, who are on track to become 10000, this type of urban configuration is no longer functional, and it is suffocating for the social life of citizens.
In our opinion it is necessary Castelnuovo transform into a common polycentric and, in particular, we like to talk about three urban centers operating as catalysts for social neighboring settlements: the old town, the village and the village Pontestorto Flaminia.
The historical center, in addition to the expected recovery of the fortress and palace of Paradise, to be completed by the restoration of the Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the construction of arcades that enclose the north side. The intended use of the fortress and palace of Paradise should provide respectively the location of training schools for the arts and crafts (in preparation for the birth of craft shops in the center) and a library with reading rooms, multimedia rooms, rooms for exhibitions, the new home of the City, however, should be added in the beautiful palace, now home to the elementary school, most of the large building Paradisi. Finally, the elementary school and kindergarten in place new buildings would be built in Monte La Pera. The village
Flaminia, would be formed by deflecting the Flaminia, and eliminating the traffic flow on this road that makes it practically unusable for pedestrians. This with the creation of sidewalks and the elimination of the service station would create a small commercial zone enjoyable by the people. It would be covered only by local traffic as also the traffic to the Tiber, would be diverted to a road to design, started from near the shopping center, joins the Flaminia road Montefiore, at the Monte La Pera. The village
Pontestorto should be the most qualifying for an urban architectural Castelnuovo. In fact, in the face of predictable and desirable economic and social development of the village, which will be triggered by the forthcoming opening of the highway, you should plan the building expansion between the Tiber, Pheasant Hill and Green Hill, defining the architectural form, the squares, porches, .... its own cemetery, etc ... their own school. giving, therefore, Pontestorto its appearance that the purchase of amorphous fraction Castelnuovo device to thriving urban center. Responding to the plea of \u200b\u200bresidential housing and commercial, who is from Rome, in the logic of concentrating the settlements and to safeguard the integrity of the surrounding environment. The former center for the civil protection could also be "recycled" as an industrial site, now ready to welcome businesses and craft, while avoiding further expansion of the area, this being in a flood of the Tiber. And
'This in our view, the right way to "integrate" Pontestorto and bring a real benefit to its inhabitants, not creating a MEGAPOLI school, which alienates the nursery and primary schools, from the city center is the village, giving way, however, to urbanization and road concreting of Montefiore, which instead is due to Castelnuovo for each remain intact.
The human impact on the environment is closely related to population density in the area.
If today we are sensitive to environmental issues because we are in Italy, in Europe and the world we have grown enormously in relation to population size. If we were still in Italy in 1500 as 25,000,000, not to hear some of the environmental problem.
man interferes with the environment primarily through the construction of houses and roads. The settlements, especially when they are disordered and heterogeneous, and are not regulated in the architecture, the colors of plaster, doors and windows as well as building materials by the specific implementing rules, to ensure harmonization with the landscape and existing buildings, are actual injury to the environment that we all below the eyes.

So over the question of whether and where to build, it is increasingly important that we ask ourselves how to build, giving us the strict implementation regulations.

Each territory for its geomorphological features has its own index of environmental sustainability, beyond which there is an irreversible decay of the conditions Ecological territory.
There is a limit beyond which you can not go and at which it is necessary to limit new development and to think rather than improving the existing aesthetic and functional.

say no in politics is always difficult, even more so in this area where it is still widespread among the people the belief that having a piece of land is equivalent to having the right to build on it. Therefore, political parties, political associations or unions, eager to be re-elected, have come to promote electoral reasons for any such request.

should change the way we administer, which can not fail to be based on citizen participation in government of the changes under a new optical transparency in the choices with the widest possible dissemination of rights and thus responsible for recruiting duties.

'"Agenda 21" is configured as a' social entertainment community, in which the 'must involve local government, economic forces, the actors union, social and institutional bodies and voluntary associations
operating in its territory. A profound change in form and manner of local government, which exceeds the conventional approaches of command and control to configure an integrated and collaborative approach with strong elements of responsibility and participation of all stakeholders.
A '"Agenda 21" Local can be described as a joint effort, within a community, to achieve maximum consensus, and transparency between all social actors, regarding the definition and implementation of a plan environmental action, keeping in mind the primary objectives for sustainable development of the territory.
