The restart of work on the new school in Sartano, a hamlet of Torano Castello, is expected by November. This was announced by Franco Corbelli, leader of the Civil Rights Movement, who urges the conclusion of the tender procedure after more than six years of closure of the construction site.
The earthquake-proof building will house around one hundred primary and nursery children and will be built in via Padula, in the area of the old primary school demolished in February 2020.
The award of the contract is awaited
The recovery remains linked to the awarding of the contract, worth almost one million euros, by the single purchasing body based in Lattarico. The public session for the opening of the offers took place on 15 October.
«I appeal to the CUC to complete the work as soon as possible», says Corbelli. Once this step has been completed, it will be up to the Municipality of Torano Castello to restart the construction site.
Recovery of the loan
Corbelli recalls the process started in December 2021 together with the Region to recover the funds that can no longer be used after the expiry of the original terms. According to reports, the government decree of June 2025 also made it possible to refinance, with a total of 463 million, another 427 Italian schools, around thirty of which are in Calabria.
For Sartano, the Civil Rights leader underlines, the objective is to give the country a modern and safe school, in an area exposed to seismic risk.
