“Maxi-military citadel Pisa ask for compensation” – Chronicle
by Gabriele Masiero
PISA
“When I met the national leaders of the carabinieri to address the issue of relocation of the regional dog command and identify possible solutions to bring together the various components of the first regiment of the Tuscania parachute carabinieri I offered the availability of the Park, in the wake of a participatory path, but none he told me of the need to identify the Coltano area as strategic for the national interest “.
The president of the protected area, Lorenzo Bani, starts from a flashback to return to the story of the maxi military base (and associated structures) that will rise in the rural hamlet thanks to the P. “Nobody has – informed – adds and now we are faced with to the fait accompli and in violation of stringent environmental and environmental restrictions that weigh on the area and with a project that will see 440 thousand cubes of new buildings in a total area of 730 thousand square meters “.
Yes, because in Coltano not only barracks will be built to serve the anti-terrorism carabinieri of the Gis, Tuscania and dog lovers, but also two buildings for a total of 18 terraced houses, two shooting ranges, two swimming pools, a lecture hall, warehouses, workshops, car wash , offices, training facilities. “And to think – emphasizes Bani – that the inhabitants of the area in recent years have rebelled twice both against the possible arrival of refugees and the construction of a biomass power plant”.
The president of the Park, however, knows that this time it is very difficult to nip a project of this magnitude in the bud and then suggests opening a public reflection “on guarantees and compensation” in favor of the territory: “However, we are sorry – observes Bani – that we spend so many Pnrr money for initiatives like these and instead only the crumbs were destined to protect the environment. But something can still be done: for example, I am thinking of projects with the maximum possible energy efficiency to minimize the production of Co2, but also to ensure that the new military settlement can guarantee greater vigilance against the phenomenon of the many illegal landfills “.
And Bani also has clear ideas about possible compensations “to mitigate the impact of an intervention of this type on the territory”: “Transform the Bechi Luserna barracks, on the Aurelia, and today very little used, into a green park and ask for redevelop the entire Coltano road network and the complete restoration of the Buontalenti stables building, near the Medici Villa, in order to be able to use it for activities linked to food and organic farming “.
