Open Letter to the Mayor of Francavilla
The following post is "an open letter sent to the mayor of Francavilla" by Savino D'Andrea, thank you for wanting to share it with "the patch". Be silent and pay attention. Respected Mayor of my city, we are at the gates of Christmas, I ask for once, believe me, just once, to wear the clothes of Santa Claus beard, big belly and a traditional bag with the gifts to be distributed to good or not good citizens of his and our community.
not to put a joke, surely allow me and many fellow citizens to address the letter of wishes and I would like. Take note of
mine.
In the town where I live there is solidarity, not that of a bell tower but that which comes from knowing the other, from living next door, since they share the space, the problems, the festive occasions. That which arises from small aggregates of the district, schools, associations and expands in the common areas, squares, where you can measure with the other main issues and choices to make. That's precisely the point here, where are the spaces? For young people, children and the elderly?
I wish my town had more squares, and not mere crossroads.
I wish the young people of our city, our children, our children's children have containers where you can discuss and express their natural creativity, where you can host groups of artists, musicians and experience new and relevant experiences with them.
I wish my city would be welcoming, hospitable, to be returned as it was in centuries past: trade center and cradle of the culture of the Terra d'Otranto.
I want a city that knows how to prepare themselves to welcome the new because they fear losing not aware of the strong roots in history.
I wish my city was picked up by a quiet mobility, a sustainable mobility at last, he could develop the idea that any car is not a necessity but a real defect behavior of this company.
I want my city to discover the past to combine the future.
I wish the politicians were less political and more practical.
I would like our fighters were more urban and less ambush.
I would be greeted with a "want?" When I arrive in a city office and not to suffer the embarrassment of utter indifference.
I would like access to social services was easy and do not oppose all obstacles such as the broken elevator and the steps not to rule.
I would like the traffic off Captain Di Castri revolved around a roundabout.
I wish the roads were paved.
I wish the students of St. Ursula do not run the risk of being crushed by a car at each entrance and exit from the Institute.
I rejoice in a sports hall at last in our city.
I would like the commissioners to answer a simple e-mail and not denied to three phone numbers.
I wish the old town was liberated from the tangle of wires and other eyesores.
I would like the green Francavilla was not just that of the natural vegetation that grows on the tuff of our homes.
I wish you an idea of \u200b\u200bthe city finally was planning to citizens. I would like to see the Imperial Palace
returned to culture.
I want, I want you to listen to me and listen to the voices of many citizens that, despite everything, are not intended to be resigned to die in the city of Imperial.
Merry Christmas Mr. Mayor.
d'Andrea Savino
