Clearance works began this morning in the area of via Ennio Quinto, in the Taormina district of Messina, one of the most delicate fronts of the municipal urban regeneration plan. The intervention comes a few days after the delivery of the keys to several families who have finally taken possession of the new homes assigned by the Municipality, the Office of the Commissioner for Redevelopment and Arisme.
Only last month nine of the eleven planned apartments were delivered amidst tears, applause and great emotion. For many families it was the conclusion of a decades-long chapter: “It’s the end of a nightmare”, some residents said, while others preferred not to be filmed to avoid media exposure in such a personal moment. The beneficiaries were given a period of 45 days to complete the move to the new homes, distributed in various neighborhoods of the city, from Fondo Fucile to Camaro.
