The video from our newspaper showing it was from yesterday rotten state at the tunnel in Via Anfiteatro, walking under the tunnel behind the Arena except for those with an iron stomach: the acrid smell you breathe is so strong that it avoids a passage, as well as unpleasant for customers of the various bars next door.
Verona, both decay and bivouacs
And unfortunately this is not the only area of the city that has been transformed into a dormitory and an open air toilet, even the park near Porta Vescovo hosts some “undocumented citizens” so political correctness calls for those who camp in public places illegally, defining. them as illegal immigrants no longer in fashion.
And Porta Vescovo is certainly not the only one to host those who bivouac, the underpass itself certainly does not offer a Spa-like olfactory experience if you cross it.
Returning towards the center, stopping in Santa Marta, the degradation happens with young people who tell about drug addicts who take drugs, urinate and masturbate in broad daylight in front of the bar of the economics headquarters of the University of Verona. On the trip, which should be done if possible by car to avoid unwanted contact, it is impossible to avoid the large number of potholes that cross the road surface of the entire Veronetta area from Via XX Settembre, to Via Cantarane and Via Trezza. . to name just a few.
Via Campofiore deserves a separate chapter, a tree-lined avenue abandoned by the whims of nature: when it rains the leaves pile up on the pavement, making the path slippery and dangerous for many students, professor and residents who walk on it every day. day and night.
Moving towards the area of Santa Maria in Organo, precisely in Lungadige Re Teodorico where there are stairs that look directly at the Adige, going around 8 in the morning, you can find feces in the niche. Continuing towards Ponte Nuovo, which, incidentally, is only the expressive mural, and arriving at Ponte Navi, it is good to pay attention to the convergence of the tires of the car; To avoid having to go to the tire dealer often, go slow. But going back to the holes, it’s worth a trip to the very central Filippini area. For some time now the writer has been committed to posting degraded sites and potholes on social media to share the state of abandonment in which the city’s streets are found and to invite others to share and be angry.
Well, looking back at some photos collected years ago, it was easy and disarming to note that most of the potholes are still there, unchanged if not worse.
Other holes to report
Among the many holes, it is worth paying attention to the one in Vicolo Torcoletto. Staying in the restricted traffic zone, in Via Zambelli, right next to the Coin shop, a singular event occurs: a deep hole in the porphyry surface is sometimes repaired with an unlikely patch of tar; regardless of the workable aesthetic result, time, money and effort are wasted because it occurs deeper within a short period of time. As laymen, we wonder if a deeper inspection of the problem followed by remedial action would be appropriate.
Before concluding this brief summary of the degradation by asking ourselves if it is normal that the citizens of Verona and the many tourists who bring work and money to Verona have to face not only the inconvenience of making real companions with the car but also. real danger.
We think of those who travel on two wheels: motorbikes, mopeds and scooters and cyclists, who are so loved by this administration and are concerned with paths and parking spaces that are unlikely to be guaranteed ad hoc but which do not take into account the dangers of potholes, poor repairs and bumpy road surfaces. Also, where are Mayor Tommasi and Councilor Zivelonghi?
