THE PROJECT

The mural on the floor, a colorful triangle with references to identity, such as Palazzo della Ragione placed in the center between the basketball court and a colorful chessboard inspired by the square of the Noventa di Piave outlet, with apparently abstract geometric shapes that recreate iconic places.

«That of Santa Maria del Suffragio – commented Giordani – was in the past my parish and 5 years ago at the beginning of the mandate we made the commitment to redevelop the square, which we have maintained. I am satisfied and proud that it is dedicated to volunteering, after a quality make-up. The whole team contributed to the success of the operation, because my councilors did a great job each in the area of ​​his competence: everyone deserves to be mayor, but in the meantime I still want to do it for a mandate. small personal merit, which is that of having brought peace to the city, where there is no longer any quarrel ». “Padua – said Micalizzi, promoter of the project – has many excellences, such as the Saint, the Bo and Unesco, but also volunteering, so it was right that this redeveloped place reminded us of those who work for others”.
