The Arena dello Stretto will host the first municipal council of the new administration led by Francesco Cannizzaro. The mayor of Reggio Calabria himself announced it through a story published on his Instagram profile, in which he announced the official convocation of the city assembly.
The session has been set for Monday 6 July at 6.30 pm and, for the first time, will take place in one of the symbolic places of the city seafront.
Cannizzaro’s announcement on social media
In the video published on social media, the mayor explained:
«By placing this signature I convene the first municipal council of the new administration which will be held on Monday 6 July at 6.30 pm. Do you know where? At the Strait Arena. For the first time in history it will be held in such an evocative place that we have chosen specifically to encourage the widest possible participation of citizens. Mark your calendar, we’ll be waiting for you.”
The first session of the new administration
The convocation marks one of the first formal acts of Francesco Cannizzaro’s mandate at the helm of Palazzo San Giorgio. The choice of the Arena dello Stretto represents an absolute novelty for the city, with the declared objective of encouraging citizen participation in the inaugural session of the new city council.
The appointment is therefore set for the evening of Monday 6 July, when the activities of the city assembly of the new council will officially begin.
