“We work hard every day to repair the damage caused by decades of neglect of politics in our territories. But the results are proving us right and encourage us to look with confidence to the future of our region”.
Thus, the President of the Regional Council, Vincenzo de Luca, during the visit to the industrial area of Caserta, which he defined as the backbone of the industrial system of Campania.
De Luca, accompanied by the President of Asi Caserta, Raffaela Pignetti, was a guest of the MD in the agglomeration of Aversa Nord and then of the Goldsmith Centre “Il Tarì” in that of Marcianise; regional councillors Stefano Graziano and Luigi Bosco, the mayors of Gricignano and Teverola and the members of the consortium board were present.
Hosting MD was the owner Patrizio Podini, who retraced the stages of a successful human and entrepreneurial history. Today, MD is a leading national company, with 780 points of sale throughout the country and 7000 employees, of which 750 in the Gricignano complex alone”.
“An Italian miracle – Vincenzo de Luca's definition – the fruit of intuition, work, dedication and
above all of courage: that of investing in the South and in Campania, which is courage within courage”.
Not without a little emotion was the greeting from President Pignetti who recalled how the inauguration
of the first shed was one of his first acts as the new president of the Asi Caserta Consortium.
“In these 5 years – continued the President – thanks to the constant support of the Region, we have made
the utmost commitment to provide this area with infrastructures adequate to the level of prestige of the companies
settled: a job that is bearing fruit. The renovation works of Via della Stazione are now underway
with an expense of 1,7 million euros. And, finally, it will be possible to proceed with the construction of the water network, a
historical deficiency that over the years has negatively impacted the functionality and attractiveness of the agglomeration”.
“Interventions – the President specified – are necessary to equip this sector in view of the opportunities
resulting from the activation of the Special Economic Zone”.
On the development opportunities linked to the implementation of the measures envisaged by the special economic zone,
President De Luca also paused, however, underlining the urgency of activating funding
adequate not only for incentives, but, above all, for infrastructural interventions, inviting the new Government
to take charge of the problem.
“With only 50 million euros, which is the current financial allocation at a national level – De Luca explained – the
Zes remain a dream in the drawer".
De Luca also underlined the value of institutional cooperation in solving the problems of
territory, an invitation accepted in his speech by the Regional Councillor, Stefano Graziano:
“The experience of Cavaliere Todini, a man from the North who chooses to invest in the South, demonstrates that even in
In our territories it is possible to do business and achieve excellent results. The secret lies in the will and in the
ability to network, work together to solve problems, overcome delays and shortcomings and facilitate
in any case the activity of those who decide to invest in our territory".
The visit then continued in the consortium area of Marcianise, at the Tarì Gold Centre. The President,
Vincenzo Giannotti illustrated to De Luca the activities of the Center, which today has more than 400 companies
aggregated and become a model and point of reference for know-how and innovation, both at a national level
that international.
Strengthening of mobility infrastructures, to facilitate contact with customers, and support in
international promotion and marketing matters, to broaden the scope of the Centre's action on
global market, the issues to which Giannotti drew De Luca's attention.
On the issue of mobility, Giannotti also thanked the President of the Asi Consortium for her contribution
offered on this land.
Raffaela Pignetti, in fact, recalled the results of the Prefecture's working table, chaired by her, which
a mobility reorganisation plan has been developed in the Caserta Sud motorway junction area, to serve
both of the agglomeration and of the shopping centres: a far-reaching project with a spending commitment of
approximately thirty million euros.
President De Luca's response was positive on both issues, inviting President Pignetti to
submit the project for admission to funding in the next programming of community funds
and committing to activate the regional offices for the valorization of the Center in the context of events
trade fairs and events of international importance.
The visit then concluded at the Tarì Design School, the training centre for goldsmith masters: a
absolute excellence in the field of fine craftsmanship.
