Manfredi: 'A major intervention is needed for Maschio Angioino'

“I have already underlined in the past that the Maschio Angioino needs a major restoration project.”

As we are doing in Castel dell'Ovo where there was a similar problem" Thus the mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, regarding the collapse of a stone from the facade of the Maschio Angioino that ended up on the sidewalk of via Acton.

An accident occurred a few meters from the entrance to Parthenope University. “We are making a project both for the restoration of the entire shell, that is, the walls, and for internal interventions on fire prevention systems, on access for the disabled, on the re-functionalization of the entire Maschio Angioino because I remember that we also had a fire” added Manfredi.

“To be able to do these things, first of all you need planning: you need projects. And then you need resources. We have the resources for the fire prevention system and for internal interventions. Minister Sangiuliano has committed to funding for the restoration of the shell, that is, the walls and roofs.

I trust that the project will be ready by the end of the year. And if that financing is formalized, as I believe it will be, next year we will do a major restoration project that will cover all the walls.

In the meantime, we will carry out safety measures to obviously guarantee safety. But they will be temporary. A radical intervention is needed there”.
