The interventions of the Bosco dello Sport in Venice and the Franchi stadium in Florence cannot be accounted for at the value of the Pnrr resources. «The services of the Commission, in fact, following a further preliminary investigation, confirmed the non-eligibility of both interventions within the context of the Integrated Urban Plans (PUI) of the respective metropolitan cities». This was stated in a note by the Minister for European Affairs, the South, Cohesion Policies and the PNRR, Raffaele Fitto.
The investigation supplement
«The Pui had been approved by decree of the Minister of the Interior in agreement with the Minister of Economy and Finance on 22 April 2022. In response to the observations received at the end of March 2023, the Government, on 4 April summoned the mayors of the metropolitan cities of Venice and Florence, in order to acquire every element useful for overcoming the criticalities reported”, explains Fitto, “elements then transmitted to the Commission and the subject of two further technical meetings”. “Yesterday evening – he explains – the services of the European Commission, while appreciating the government’s effort, confirmed the ineligibility of the interventions of the Florence Stadium and the Bosco dello Sport in Venice which therefore cannot be accounted for at the value of the Pnrr resources”.
Release of the installment
«The Commission then requested the government to adopt the necessary documents to formalize what was communicated, to finalize the positive verification of all the objectives as at 31 December 2022, necessary for the release of the third installment of 19 billion euros. In the coming days, the government will verify and activate any necessary action to ensure the timely release of the installment», concludes Fitto.
Nardella: let’s not stop the race, the State will find a solution
«There are those who rowed against Florence and Fiorentina and there are those who still hope that the Franchi stadium will end up like the Flaminio stadium designed by the same architect Nervi, abandoned and degraded. A black hole in the Campo di Marte district. But we are not giving up! We are not stopping the public tender procedure that has already begun, also because the project is currently receiving state funding from the Ministry of Culture for approximately 140 million euros which we cannot lose. In addition, we have already spent 8.5 million euros on design and design verification. We ask the Italian state to work together on a solution to replace the missing amount and cover the full amount.” So the mayor of Florence Dario Nardella. Nardella thanked “Minister Fitto and the government for having defended the project by sharing with the Municipality of Florence the reasons for defending the correctness of the procedure adopted”.
“Respect all deadlines”
“The State – the mayor recalled – more than a year ago attributed this funding to the Metropolitan City and the Municipality of Florence, as part of the Integrated Urban Plans, with a specific interministerial decree on which no one had raised formal objections until yesterday ». Nardella also reiterated that he had “respected all the times imposed by the European rules and having received as many as 40 authorizations”.
