"The lights are being put up, some have already been turned on between yesterday and the day before yesterday. By Monday, all the lights that have been put up in recent days and that cover all ten municipalities of the city should be up and running and lit up."
So the mayor of Naples Gaetano Manfredi, answering a question about the installation of Christmas lights on the main streets of the city. On the reason for the delays in installing the lights, Manfredi explains: “It is a fairly complex administrative problem.
Last year – the mayor recalls – we had a single tender that however failed three times because the amount was very large, then we made direct assignments. This time we tried to make a framework agreement, but the time was very tight so now we are studying a completely different administrative strategy to ensure that next year the problems we had this year are not repeated”.
