The Sardinia Region responds to the appeal launched last August by the organizers and artistic director Sante Maurizi of the 19th edition of the festival “Pensieri e Parole: libri e film all'Asinara”, a request addressed to the President of the Region, Alessandra Todde, also by the Municipality of Porto Torres in agreement with the Asinara National Park Authority for the recovery of the former super-prison of Fornelli , closed to the public for some time and in use by the Conservatoria delle Coste since 2017.
«The enhancement program of the naturalistic and historical heritage of the Island also includes the intervention of enhancement of the former prison structure, with sums equal to 900 thousand euros that we plan to include in the next regional budget », declared the regional councilor for the defense of the Environment, Rosanna Laconi.
The member of the Todde council assures about the next meeting of the Park Community, a political and management body that has not met since 2018. A decisive step forward in the line of constitution of the governance of the Asinara Park, without a leader for eight years and without a Board of Directors necessary for the nomination of the president of the Authority for four years.
"On that occasion, an extraordinary intervention plan will be agreed upon for the recovery of the buildings with the aim of creating the scattered hotel," explains Councilor Laconi, "the reconstruction of the road owned by the Region, with resources of 1.5 million, and other safety interventions so that this island park becomes an international hub for naturalistic research and the preservation of historical memory."
