Shame on you.” This is the comment of Luca Rolandi, president of District 2, where the garden of via San Marino falls. The deputy mayor, Michela Favaro, the president of the city council, Maria Grazia Grippo, and niece Valentina Magrin were present at the ceremony for the naming of the green area last April.
