OPEN LETTER TO MARIO RAZZANELLI
These days in Florence have circulated thousands of leaflets against TAV tunnel, Foster and a small box in the margin, the tramway. The Citizens Committee for the Trees acknowledges the opposition, always welcome, v a way of drawing the city and the city parks can not see us agree, although from our point of view of any possible destruction has already been made: the former butchery, a valuable work of the architect Felix Francolini no longer exist, as well as the beautiful old park was part of the complex. There is already a ' huge hole that has changed the pitch, with all the consequences that will follow. As well as damage to the nearby Mugnone. The damage of Line 1 of the tramway, with the destruction of the Monumental Park of the Cascine, the closure of many activities, the exorbitant costs that will never be written off. But Mario Razzanelli was also the promoter of a referendum won by ordinary citizens to save Florence and District 5. Indeed the whole party is there, the great popular protest took place in that of Viale Morgagni, in a sad morning when hundreds of residents flocked to the streets to stop the chainsaws that suddenly started the slaughter of Viale Morgagni of historic trees. The Referendum, and the commitment of his promotore.meritava therefore be supported and indeed thousands of Florentines have made possible a totally unexpected victory. But now '. He who was the former father of the referendum anti tramway, silent or even advocates the continuation of the tram lines with the same model train is off the scale that has caused so much destruction, is not contrary to pursue the elimination of the shameful history of Italy's first Avenue of Remembrance of Italy, now reduced to half of the original trees, proposed to continue the line until you reach Via Morgagni Husbands, thus also destroying all the majestic pines that give only a minimum of decoration with an increasingly bleak landscape, the famous neighborhood of "dormitory" invoked by Matulli and that really could become the District of Rifredi, a time remembered for his Medici villas and pleasant walks, but also, more recently, for a flagship of the Italian, Galileo, showing that work and beautiful scenery can be happily married.
Now the population feels abandoned. They feel abandoned thousands of Florentines who signed the street to save their neighborhood. Certainly it is not in any way attributable to the historical responsibility that Mario Razzanelli remain on the shoulders of those who, in recent years, will Florence made only faint copy of what was in the name of progress, which is just cultural regression. Mario Razzanelli certainly did not have the support of many of his colleagues who also were there and it is clear that at this point, only apparently supported the long struggle in defense of the trees of Viale Morgagni, but just as certainly as representing Mario Razzanelli man by whom the inhabitants of Rifredi expected to support a strong mark and have instead been left behind. Yet they, and they are many, those who voted in the referendum convinced that their vote would remain in history as the testimony of a Florence that was really crazy and I wanted to stop unprecedented in a decade of planning history waiting to be forgotten.
