IThe Monumental Complex of Castel Nuovo and its Civic Museum will remain closed to the public on September 1, 2 and 3 for institutional reasons. This was announced by the press office of the Municipality of NapoliThe monument had been at the center of controversy because it was closed on the day of Ferragosto.
It was the complaint of the Green regional councilor Francesco Borrelli that raised the case: “Despite the reservation made on the Municipality website – he explains in a note – numerous Italian and foreign tourists, some in possession of the Artecard, this morning found the entrance to the Maschio Angioino barred.
The many visitors, who waited in vain for the opening, had no choice but to photograph the Arco Trionfale. No one to give directions, no sign displayed that read 'closed', total confusion. Moreover, the Municipality's website continues to accept reservations and therefore visitors continue to flock to find the gate closed. A visitor from Naples, also disappointed by the unexpected closure, has been there since 8,30:XNUMX this morning to give information in English to the many disoriented tourists.
In practice he is carrying out a task that is not his responsibility but only for the love of his city, in defense of that enviable heritage that many admire and that we must first of all defend from those Neapolitans who are primarily committed to making our city a place to avoid”. “Such inefficiency is unacceptable – Borrelli underlines – in a city with a tourist vocation that, after dark years, finds large flows of foreign and Italian visitors. A serious disservice, moreover, that has already occurred on the occasion of April 25. Also on that occasion, the Maschio Angioino was denied to numerous tourists. The time has therefore come to clarify, it is a must, I add”.
