How Compatible Are People With Same Birthday?

Day 5 - The Story of a crane

The Day yesterday spoke of Genoa and its future. This is the subject of the debate moderated by Adriana Albini, whose attended by the Mayor Marta Vincenzi, the assessor Ranieri, Senator of the PD and the Mayor of Vimercati Sesto San Giovanni Oldroyd.


Just compare the two straight lines of Genoa - or rather between those in the area of \u200b\u200bSestri Ponente - Corniglia - Sesto San Giovanni and was of great interest. In both cases, these urban areas subject to strong movement of post-industrial conversion, for both there were people who have dreamed of, planned and put a new face in the pipeline. This face is seen today in the sixth and you can imagine for those areas of our city, which, only after this open wound healed, can declare with pride to completing the great restoration project began with Colombiadi. Also in Genoa, as pointed out by the mayor, the designs for the rehabilitation of those areas are no longer ideas, but construction sites. The new Sestri is already taking shape: an area where water does not just mean port, but working life and then, with the major ship repairs that take place there. A new relationship with the sea, which also involves a new and better capacity for the disposal of container. Finally there is a great project Erzelli , a dream of culture and technology, for the revival of our city, that every day, some small step in moving inexorably forward. These are the many small improvements of a city that wants to change skin remaining true to itself and to its tradition of work and sacrifice, and pass but do not delete the pages of history written by the sacrifice of many people. Past and future, memory and hope ; awareness of the past must always remain the focus of each project and any aspiration for the future of a city. It is no coincidence that the sixth is at the heart of Genoa have set their own path of renaissance culture (which is also a memory) and innovation (the future by definition).


This belief is especially dear to me an image that we have proposed this evening telling Sesto San Giovanni. In the heyday of engineering Breda had equipped its Sixth establishments of a huge crane, a giant structure, the very symbol of heavy industry and hard work of many workers. The times have changed and the Breda ended, but the crane, torn abandonment or demolition, is now an outdoor theater, meeting place for many, for which go to the crane is something "cool "because this symbol of the industrial is now the center of a new community . The car is always the same, but the community has changed. Past and future are therefore an essential formula for figuring the Genoa hope of tomorrow.
