Inspirational Quotes Sympathy

Citizens of Taranto, is the time to watch and make our voices heard

The city is stunned. The news reports kept us in suspense. We waited for the names of those responsible but apparently Taranto also the failure of yet another Italian mystery remains. Money is no more, perhaps there will never be responsible, unless they find a scapegoat - like a group of employees and some bureaucrat - who pays for all.

But the problem is the tragic silence of the city. Someone is already planning for mass mobilization. This is part of the script that has someone in mind to get to the municipal elections with the standard of first class. It is difficult to have sympathy for the first class. It would take a real awareness of people and, more importantly, a real contract nature civil with those who propose to the Administrative Guide of this city.


Please do not make us feel more talk of democracy, participation and transparency. Since you have not been able to achieve them, at least try to respect these words in stone.

Who wants to govern this city must have a curriculum with practical exercises to respect the popular will, of listening and responding to people's needs. We will not bring programmoni who dreams of things to do. We propose two or three things that represent a clear, concrete break with the ruling classes and the current with their ways of governing. Tell us clearly what he wants to make the health of Taranto by the actions on the environment (regasification plant, steel, cement, refinery, traffic). Tell us how you propose to put a piece youth unemployment or at least how it intends to introduce elements of clarity in this area (who is working in the head as unemployed, for example). Tell us what men will immediately rule because people now understand which groups of political and economic power does, or does not, refer. Tell us if you still want to respect the primacy of worn-out parties that, to date, are the negation of democracy, participation and transparency. Tell us immediately how it intends to implement a form of control from below by all citizens.


To my fellow citizens I ask you to watch so exasperated. It is not only good governance of this city, but the fate of our children and our grandchildren because we expect tears and blood for a minimum of a couple of generations. Send letters of protest to those who have treated subjects, the papers write your anger, make your voice heard in the workplace, in places where you gather in the few sports and cultural associations because we were robbed even of healthy places aggregation and civil growth. Everything But the silence and indifference.

Blood Clots After Leep

The port of Taranto and regasification

garden of Taranto

Port of Taranto.

The previous city government has tried every means to bend the same management model and the Municipal municipal or special municipal port administration also looking to impose a presidency without any special requirements and heavy conflicts of interest for activities directly operated and administered in port.

This design has generated a series of disputes that have heavily sanctioned such behavior.

The result is that in a little over a year took turns at the top leaderships of the port authority four negative all the activities of the port, both from ordinary activities and those related to the planning of the works necessary for the development of port facilities and activities are induced in behind the port and in the logistics in general.

There was no interaction between the work port and rail and road junctions to keep them functional, modern, profitable and sustainable transport.

What we want to do:

  • first of all restore the normal preparations for use of port management and comply with rules dictated by laws and by the Italian Constitution, that the force does not coveted by the center;

  • second working port in line with management to arrive at the final approval and adoption of the plan of the port which would not be possible without any infrastructure project aimed at the integration of existing maritime trade for developing the activities behind the port for implementation employment in the service sector employment advanced high-performance and low environmental impact;

  • absolute respect for the environment also in the planning of infrastructure work to maintain the proper relationship and integration of port-cities, ensuring that the port would affect the activities in the city even in the immediate vicinity of the port.

In a nutshell, we consider the port one of the largest companies in the city in which more players, more workers will be able, with his work, freely compete on equal terms to make the port more profitable and more freedom of the city and its citizens.

The regasification plant.

With regard to the installation of an LNG terminal at Taranto said he was all over and perhaps all have expressed their thoughts. Some have spoken many times and sometimes contradicting what was said with great emphasis. In fact, to contradict what was stated, someone has made use also of the Technical Committees that are empowered to express themselves in other matters let alone the safety of citizens and facilities.

The technical members to express their views expressed are not required because the assessments have not yet techniques that correlate current situations (already very complex) with those that would result if it came to the location and construction of a regasification terminal in any port area and beyond.

We've never been biased against or in favor of LNG terminals, we know that are useful and perhaps essential to the national energy balance, but we want to be sure that their location at Taranto and elsewhere, is very safe places and the people concerned. As also required by all environmental groups intervened.

Therefore, any decision, whether positive or negative, can and should be taken, with great realism and full of responsibility, after all have been adequately informed on every detail of the technical and economic choice, thereby, rejecting a priori the syndrome of "never in my backyard" as well as not accepting the simplistic statement "you can do "maybe" beyond. " Each site must be investigated with the projections that are due to envisage scenarios after the construction and operation.

Next, as to consent "policy" we would like to point out that the town police station can not express any willingness representative of the will of the people. The Province and the Region have never in their electoral programs, the possibility of installing a LNG terminal at Taranto and then they themselves can not exercise any delegation obtained by citizens.

Without due consideration not only wait for the next local elections to elect the Mayor of Taranto and predict whether or not such an option in programs for administration of the city, and this right from the primaries that will surely guarantee choosing more participatory and informed citizen.

Positive results of the Laboratory of The district usually Corvisea

It closes with a positive initial phase of the first District Workshop, an initiative listening and dialogue with its citizens, designed and promoted by the City that we want and its candidate for mayor Gianni Liviano.

Although bad weather prevented the completion of the program - provided the two days, 19 and 20 October, only the first took place - the experiment carried out at the district, Solito Corvisea can be successful.

Favourable impact with people who have responded far beyond expectations, approaching the large gazebo set up for the occurrence and showing curiosity and interest in an initiative to re-establish contact with the people, for too long considered only as a reservoir of votes, if necessary to draw back and not easy honor promises.

approach with local residents was carried out through the delivery of a letter in which the initiative has Liviano Gianni Laboratories District, explaining the motivations that inspired it.

E 'were then asked to those who wish to write on a piece of paper shaped like a brick, a need, a desire, a suggestion on how to improve your neighborhood and the entire city of Taranto.

bricks have been, from time to time, added to earlier on a panel in an effort to build an ideal city that we are all together, starting from the city who live it every day in all its facets.

Diverse, In addition, the membership of people interested in giving a contribution, in terms of participation, the initiatives of the group or even to receive information on future events.

Everything is done to the presence of constant and careful Gianni Liviano who met those who want to know him personally.

One thing, however, deserves a deep reflection. More carefully at the beginning and the contents have been shown to adults and the elderly, regardless of sex and social class, while young people were more suspicious, confirming what has unfortunately become the pervasive climate of distrust and resignation about the future.
All in the wake of a continuous removal of young people themselves the political and social life of the city to which he contributed a certain way of doing politics that Taranto has made a master for too long and that has brought only disappointment and indifference.

final phase of the Laboratory of Neighborhood - Solito Corvisea - will be meeting with the citizens tomorrow morning starting at 9.30 in the square opposite the Co-Cathedral, a moment of synthesis, during which we will comment on what came out of bricks and analysis we seek to understand, with those who want to participate, which can and should be the future of our city.

Agganis Arena Detailed Seating Chart

mobility

The city we want : what mobility

The photograph of coarse-grained mobility in Taranto can be derived from reading the data from the 2001 census. In our area, inhabited by more than 190,000 residents, are held about 110,000 daily trips just to go to school (about 45%) and work (approx. 55%), this value is more than half of the trips are measured in the Province Taranto and less than a tenth of those regional .. Of those that take place within the commune, about 70% (over 72,000) is made by residents in the capital while the remainder is held by residents in the province and the region. Generally, employees use as a vital form of transport the car (on average 65% with higher values \u200b\u200bfor workers coming from out of town) and just take the bus (around 5%), in contrast to students when they come from out of town primarily use the bus (more than 70% or about 4,300), students living in the capital prefer to walk (about 15,000 or more than 40%), being acoompagnati (about 9,000 or about 27% of resident students) and just go by bus (about 17% or about 6,000). Even 15% of workers (just under 7,000) use to walk to work.

This is the picture overall aseptic but in everyday life is reflected in some way that everyone who lives, moves, use the road, he sees during his movement, and produces a result. And of course the need to reduce the time, arriving in time at work or school, to make the movements necessary to the existence of each of us confrontatno - scontran apparentaemnte on that place so ungovernable that is the road, the sidewalk and then fight for parking or to go with the stroller. And the themes of mobility become symptomatic in order to assess the quality of life for everyone since the traffic or the noise of the other is always worse than that produced by us, because "it looks like driving that cock ....." This is the picture enthusiast.

In between is the ability to govern, make choices that are necessary to balance the needs (that everyone knows very well) and the collective (of which we forget with some abitudinarietà). The theme of mobility, or of his government, can then become symptomatic in order to re-align the relationship between individual cities and towns of public spaces, intended that the road is now regarded as a public space par excellence, used to power by all, but which lends attention only when addressing the ball or the car is double parked.

The site of the rebalancing we said, melt the space where individual and collective needs, where the city can re-learn some basic rules of coexistence from the signal being given by the Administration, that the government instead of relying to the 'self' and "common sense" of the citizen. The road, a symbolic place where the governments most likely fall over, where the changes are never painless, where it is better to "let live" rather than a means for promoting compliance with the walkway. And yet a city which is measured with the proper functioning of the road so far largely with the proper functioning of its arterial system, the road that brings oxygen, the road to wealth and just ask the dealers if they prefer a road open or closed to traffic.

The topic is so delicate but not the actions of government can forget that there is given its importance. And then you need to identify actions to be put in place to restore balance to the system of needs, without which the only "loser" or a citizen with reduced mobility or pedestrians (some say that the pedestrian is a motorist who has just left car), adult or child.

WEIGHT TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT - The road, a place of balance we have said, where the public service is now configured as an element of "is" though "asked" by many citizens, who meet a certain cost ol ' only possibility of movement. And where instead of the public service will find dignity, strength and ability to attract people, so as to become too efficient alternative to the car, even for long-distance residential sprawl that has given us (bringing the city) .

WHERE / HOW: To strengthen the sense of transport local public action is needed then different organizational types of general and specific, the former involving checking the overall arrangement of the network in order to verify the incompatibility between public and private transport, by entrusting a functional reorganization of the mesh Street the task of identifying the best business solution of the network of public transport in relation to the spatial complexity, it comes to dealing with serious about planning and management system of the TPL as defined by law, in relation to land use and the organization of the urban road network, and should therefore face the drafting of the contract service to become involved in territorial needs rather than leave just business logic, but by respectable broker with the meaning of its public transport service, paid by the community as

But at the same time address issues of a more microscopic : accessibility to the service and the regularity of it which can be addressed immediately with a series of actions rather simple:

  • project acceptance of the stops: the action plan to make welcoming stops (shelters), accessible (elimination of stop in front of the legs and timely reconfiguration of pedestrian access), control lanes;
  • Infobus project: to complete the process started with the testing and extension to the whole network;

balance the relationship - The road as an element of value for urban centers, places of public attraction, out of necessity or for pleasure, where access to the service is easy but at the same time respecting the principles of health. We refer, for example, places the health and education, often forgotten by the devastating effects produced by urban traffic and air pollution such as noise, because the road is not only is complicit in our movements, but as mocking concentrate harmful effects, not least the risk of accidents, especially when high near places with high attractiveness of utilities weak .. And then rebalance the relationship between city and street in those places that symbolize the existence of the community, where you perceive the role that society has against the individual citizen.

WHERE / HOW: Two places for example: the hospital and away gold medals, the way of schools. The organization and the quality of the circulatory road system is not suited to the needs of accessibility, but also of "sensitivity environment "of those places. As for the hospital should strengthen the system of reception of the stop emphasizing the role of the car park via Oberdan, and this will happen by implementing a series of actions in partnership with the USL aimed at better "conversation" of the parking, possibly with increase in the hospital.

regard instead go gold medals, the way of schools, the effort of government to finalize the environmental rehabilitation of the road, especially in times of school activity in order to readjust the relationship is currently troubled by road function acquitted Users on the same street Golden. It should then undertake a process of involving children, parents and school boards in order to build a proposal to be submitted to the citizens to solve this problem evident. The laboratories of the district will be the site of confrontation / clash between proposals / needs / expectations / regulations and should include the role played by the street on a regional scale gold medals, which must be guaranteed by other means.

Not only that, we said the road as the arterial system of the community which brings wealth and economic systems, however, must offer not only the ability to move but also to stop. And then rebalance the parking system to make it equally accessible to the places of business offer.

WHERE / HOW: Two places for all who suffer the same problem: the village and Viale Liguria. The shortfall in supply of parking is evident in both areas "commercial" in Taranto and the way to balance the relationship can be identified by two complementary action lines: public car parks within its appropriate size to be realized through the instrument of Project Financing , car parks to reduce the overcrowding of the public road from the flooded residential parking and the rest of the audience. Management Plan for the rest able to govern the issue that is calibrated around the overall needs of the city system.

balance the relationship it means preparing for the new General Plan of Urban Traffic of Taranto, an instrument that will have to address in detail issues relating to the needs of urban mobility, not only in terms of fluidity of movement but also in terms of finding the best balance of the needs that are expressed on the street, with special attention to vulnerable users (pedestrians, cyclists) to be empowered to tackle the trails with the highest levels of security. This must be done from invariant infrastructural in the meantime are not without substance on the territory, however, identify any corrective actions aimed at small-denomination better compatibility of the overall solution. And from the start this season Urban Mobility Plan, an instrument that will provide the framework for the overall transport system to service a vast area of \u200b\u200bland and production of large-scale meshes.

Yes, because the road is now a euphemism, a figure of speech indicates that in this case, the complexity of the system consists not only asphalt, but also by water, iron and air. And this seems to be a strategic asset immediacy with which to move around: you will need to be tackled early, given the opportunities that are gradually building around two poles of interest supra (Port of Taranto Grottaglie Airport), the proper and balanced relationship between the transport systems available and the prospect of their integration for the establishment of a logistics platform of the most powerful in the Mediterranean and then the identification and resolution of specific problems that have so far stopped the implementation of the solutions for a long time, not least by-pass the State Massafra that let them connect to the motorway system no longer in awe of sorts, allowing the release currently suffered by the subjection of the town. This is the great value of the Goods economic potential that lies ahead as our region, the possibility of becoming wedged interchange with adequate supply of advanced logistics routes of globalization, so as to provide a significant return, even indirectly, to ' local economy by providing added value to the productive sectors that will inject new life into the territory. The transport system, therefore, as the lymphatic system for easy mobility and sustainable local products, and as an opportunity to revitalize the local economies on the ease of transit of goods benefit. Again If the partnership with the private system becomes important driver to support the actions required to achieve the strategic objectives.

and returning to the men's movement, wishing to remain in the multimodal dimension of precendete paragraph, to address another strategic issue no less important than the previous or the constitution of the urban transport hub of the city of Taranto: The new Porta Napoli . Once again facing the possibility of integrating strategic transport systems and also provide services to the city in support of actions to encourage tourism in the city and province. And then locate in the triangle between the port (s pier Eligio Cast passenger) railway station and the Stone Bridge location of existing and potential supply, iron and water in which to implement a program of "urban renewal" that would enable the area to contain a terminal service local public transport, a bus station, public parking, business services and accommodation so as to achieve the "logistics platform of people, easy to use, architecturally important and which contains all the functions modal interchange between systems, passenger services, not least the terminal of the civil airports of Bari and Brindisi, and why not Grottaglie, so as to approach the city \u200b\u200bto the air mode, now far away. And from here onwards with the actions of tariff unification, to facilitate exchanges between vehicles, action needed to reduce loss of time which usually beset us when we face the move, integrate the supply of parking, so promote exchanges between private and public, and why not begin to think about a mass rapid transport system linking the new port and the Naples train station to the city.

The principle of order and then re-balance but also to develop, operate on the balance not only the limitations but also by enhancing the offer. The money seems to be the only problem with this mirror, but I think this topic of primary importance may be overlooked for a moment to check the validity of the overall structure. The Regional Operational Plan shall contain any actions for the realization of some points (negotiation activity with the region that can not be left to the Commissioner) and also no one should exclude the value of individuals to be properly controlled with the aim of achieving common objective.

Taranto Taranto for a new economic development

Project economics for

" The city we want,"


the provincial economy in general and of the Ionian city of Taranto in particular, in recent years an important turning point in motion. The crisis in the strict sense and in particular in the chemical and mechanical, that makes you feel its consequences not only in Italy but in all industrialized economies, the economy takes tarantina even more drama because of the significant weight that these activities play in of our manufacturing base.

Indeed, monoculture Steel has for at least three decades centralized most of the human and financial resources of the city, or relegated to marginal roles effectively "disappearing" other important traditional vocations of the territory and actually slowing down the development advanced tertiary sector.

In this we must not ignore the importance of the establishment of the steel plant, then Italsider, has played in the development of provincial income and the industrial culture of the area, but none the less you have to take note of the profound revolution that is sweeping international markets and laying the western economies facing a challenge comparable to the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century, and before which we can not introduce unprepared.

The "conversion" of economic development of the city of Taranto can pass through the focus of a number of key issues, priority and timing of implementation varied within which to identify the specific priorities to be determined depending on available funding and the state of existing infrastructure.

Conversion of the production of steel.

The current redefinition of the global market is the production time by highlighting a process of transferring production of heavy industry to the so-called developing countries , mainly because of lower labor cost and supply of raw materials.

Preservation of Taranto in the steel industry, like other Western countries must go through a retraining of the types of products to products with high technological content, such as special steels, magnetic steels, etc..

This process of regeneration can not fail to also provide for a reclassification of the current induced in the steel sector enterprises, in order to promote a system of high-tech firms that can make production lines and semi-manufactured goods competitive on domestic and international market of 'hi-tech .

Local regeneration.

The redevelopment of the area is of interest not only in terms of landscape and health, but also about the possibility of economic and social development of the city.

fact, without a careful policy of reform and eco-sustainable exploitation of land resources and water can not seriously think about reviving agriculture policies, especially as regards traditional products and quality, and mariculture and development of the tourism sector.

At the same time, the development of firms specializing in on-site urban upgrading and environmental technologies able to compete outside the local market could be a further opportunity for development for the area of \u200b\u200bTaranto.

Development of advanced services.

The increasing weight of the tertiary sector of data is a characteristic of advanced economies.

should however take into account that within the tertiary sector the prime mover in terms of capacity development of the economy is the so-called "advanced services", ie all those high-tech firms capable not only to provide the manufacturing base and a range of social services for immediate enjoyment, but also to produce know-how and patents that increase the "material wealth of the territory."

The possibility of developing a hi-tech industry as suggested above can not ignore the presence of an advanced tertiary sector sufficiently developed.

Development of a university ion.

The development of a university with two areas of excellence is a time of growth for the territory of Taranto.

one hand, the city of Taranto would strengthen its role as "attractive" not only by economic and administrative point of view but also from the cultural point of view.

other hand, in addition, the university would be a vital center for research for the development of advanced services and hi-tech industry , as well as strategies for planning and redevelopment planning.

The development of "non-profit .

Another sector capable of both economic and social development is the so-called non-profit sector or third sector.

In this area are part of standard business non-profit, whose main areas of intervention are the provision of personal services that are essential to support families, greatly improving the quality of life and also enabling people who normally can not enter the world of work, carried out within the productive fabric.

In this non-profit firms in the are further opportunities for developing the financial and human wealth of our country.

Participation and active citizenship for a policy of peace and environmental protection

Peace, safety and environmental

From the city of silence to the town's participation

Some policy proposals for the city that we

Taranto is home to one of the most important military bases in the Mediterranean. Since 2002 it has become NATO base without which neither the Parliament nor the city have been informed. While the eyes of all the construction of new naval base in the Great Sea, but were given assurances about the status of the base as a national basis.

Instead it passed a decision on the head of the population that may involve the use of the sea to NATO naval units, unlike those of the Navy, are equipped with nuclear propulsion and nuclear weapons.

It thus becomes a priority to implementing Article 1 of the Municipal Statute which states: "Taranto is a city worker for peace, free from chemical, nuclear, biological."

In particular, it should execute the decision in which the City Council in 2000 ruled to start a negotiating table with the government after the discovery that Taranto was on the official list of ports at nuclear risk. This table, which included the participation of the associations involved tarantine against nuclear risk and environmental protection, has never been established.

the objective should be pursued, as was done for the base of La Maddalena in Sardinia, a away as much as possible from nuclear submarines and other weapons that could pose a risk to the marine environment and the safety of the population.

should be pursued in order to be fully informed of the Mayor, as the law requires, on the possible transit of naval nuclear propulsion, giving full effect to the legislative decree 230/95, which provides for the publication of nuclear plans.

In these circumstances and in presence of floors absolutely inadequate to protect the position, our position is - in collaboration with the Region of Puglia - request a moratorium on all transit dangerous.

The absence of information on military matters has been replicated in Taranto in the environment, so that our city has become the "city of silence" .

For example, the procedure for the LNG terminal has been started without any information of citizenship in violation of the Aarhus Convention (enforced by law 108/2001) and the Seveso 2 Law, standards which provides not only the dissemination of environmental information but the involvement of the public where there are public interests at stake for everyone: the environment and safety.

Therefore, the entire environmental impact assessment of the LNG terminal to be cleared and restarted on the right bases.

Our position on the LNG terminal from the fact that Taranto is legally defined as "the city at high risk of environmental crisis" and therefore it is impossible any further aggravation of the city with plants going in the direction that opposed the recommendations of ARPA expect an easing of the major industrial from nine industrial plants at risk of undergoing a major accident at Seveso law.

Taranto therefore not an appropriate site to host an LNG terminal , especially if placed near Ilva and Agip, as well as the draft of Gas Natural.

Our program provides for the application of the Aarhus Convention and the establishment of a ' Agenda 21 for the maximum involvement of civil society in environmental protection during the transition towards a safer city and encouraging a culture of environmental information.

From the city of silence the city of environmental information and sharing choices: this is the strategic direction towards which Taranto has to go.

currently in Taranto - from European estimates - there is 30% of all dioxin Italian and 9% of European dioxin. However, no monitoring program was initiated for this highly carcinogenic substance.

therefore aim will be to promote a dioxin monitoring in collaboration with other local authorities and research institutes in the area.

Currently the city has a network of detection of pollution from traffic is unable to capture adequately the ' industrial pollution and therefore should be a recognition of the pollutants in the vicinity of the industrial area with a mobile unit. A match between the detection GPS (Global Position System) unit via a mobile and monitored data can lead to more precise mapping of air pollution and homogeneous. To this end, it is important to detect an interaction between the City and environmental responsibilities of the province, bringing in Computerized Information System of the Province of pollution data and reaching environmental thematic maps and a database that contains the set of all historical data.

It 's very important to know the environmental data of the past for comparison and to this end the Act of agreement with Ilva be verified because there is no certificate of improving air quality and' environment after the agreements.

will be our commitment to find all the environmental data ARPA and to what was detected by the Presidium of Prevention Multi-zone and make them public, also using the Internet, as well as provides for the Aarhus Convention, working in an integrated manner with other local authorities.

will our duty to report responsibility of those who have or have not controlled pollutants or were complicit in environmental disasters perpetrated in the city. L ' increase of 100% of cancers in the last 30 years constitutes a real moral issue because without complicity and failure to control industrial pollution would not come to that.

The health emergency will require the ' application of all the powers of the mayor so that the whole industrial area returns to normal . In particular, action will be initiated to monitor the district Drums come to define with scientific rigor the extent and the source of environmental damage.

will also be provided to the population - as is required by law - information on security plans and emergency high-risk industries, launching a serious policy of disaster prevention and civil protection.

Even with regard to electromagnetic fields will be given to a wider population information about the electro, initiating audits in areas at risk, involving schools wishing to initiate projects for the measurement of electromagnetic waves near the antennas of mobile phone companies. The antennas map should not be kept in the drawers but will be made public by entering the data in the Computerized Information System of the Province, notice published in advance citizens of the requests to install new antennas. The City must set up an allocation plan antenna installations in regulating and limiting the most densely populated regions.

with the research institutions will be studied a special information system that sends real-time mobile data citizen detectable pollution and transferable by SMS. The principle of full sharing environmental information will be the basis of a new relationship between citizens and institutions, exploiting the full potential of wireless technology .

The "city of silence" will become the city information and participation, by empowering employees with a strict application of the law 626 security that provides a strict duty to provide information to workers on pollutants emitted , in particular those carcinogens.

The schools and universities should play a role in this framework, training of nationals and skills on which to create a healthier city, more controlled and more aware of their rights. A policy of supporting the active citizenship will conduct constituting forms of listening and constant consultation of civil society, the movement from informal groups, voluntary associations and training institutions to search, organizations of workers in unions.

A new social participation - based on right to information, control and motion - may be increased making full use of Internet and new technologies, especially wireless.

We believe that a new culture of participation can be an engine for development - including economic - increasing the skills and technological information that characterize the basic training of all citizens in so-called "information society" , in which citizens can participate with computer technology and public forum when compared to the choices of the city integrating delegated democracy and direct democracy. Today's technologies can play a role in a democratic and participatory strategy for e-democracy.

This "piece of program is thus closely related to our proposal of a 'new economy , based on the tertiary advanced the full use of all the skills of young Tarantino today via telematics, advanced could participate in projects without having to migrate away from their city .

The promotion of free software and free network sharing information, creating a wireless community town (via wi-fi hotspots as in other cities like Rome or Bologna) are key for gather intelligence in a city form of collective intelligence mail service to the city .

should be re-discovered their desire for participation and democracy in which political parties must be the virtue of modesty, of listening and passing the proxy blank.

The current dispersion of collective intelligence is one of the causes of the lack of identity and aggregation. Much of the city does not feel heard and valued. The dishonesty of certain policy has transformed the culture into a commodity to be exchanged under the table. skills were denigrated and marginalized by a certain policy that has created distrust and degradation, favoring "friends" and leaving the people and good projects out the door.

A new training, which starts from the habit to 'exercise of their rights - first the right of access to information - and to promote the full development of skills, is surely a factor in promoting economic well as aging civil town for the whole community.

A town passive, unmotivated and without enthusiasm, participation and even a city that has no confidence in his development project and could not commit to overcome the enormous difficulties of the present.
