A place of historical memory, a place that houses the identity of the city, a heritage of 600 thousand volumes, a unique eMeroteca in Southern Italy. Yet the Giacomo Longo regional library risks staying homeless and closing doors. There is a petition to save her, already a thousand signatures collected. But that’s not enough. On the eMeroteca located in private rooms of the Consular Via Pompea weighs a eviction procedure. Instead of newspapers and magazines, a supermarket could arise. On the headquarters to the Archbishopro, a failure to agreement with the Curia. The director Tosi Siragusa asks for the attention of the city.
The library had to find a house in the Citadel of Culture designed at the former Margherita Hospital. But also on that front of little or nothing, if not a project that remained still. On the part of the political disinterest, the director also asked for a table in the Prefecture.
