Ghilarza is getting closer and closer to the creation of the museum complex dedicated to Gramsci , in the land where the thinker and politician known throughout the world spent his childhood. By the end of the month, the team of architects, who won the expression of interest to give life to the important museum itinerary, will present the executive project. The scientific committee and the City Council will therefore have to decide and then proceed, presumably at the beginning of the year, with the tender.
A very important work for Ghilarza and the whole of Sardinia, financed with one million euros thanks to the territorial planning and the initiative carried out a few years ago with the "Vivi Bargui" project by the Union of the municipalities of Guilcier and Barigadu . The museum complex will develop over three spaces: the museum house, the recently renovated former headquarters of the PCI and the private house, between the two structures, purchased by the municipality.
The proposals for the construction of the future museum pole were to include, in addition to the Casa Museo, Antonio Gramsci's residence from 1898 to 1911 and today a national monument, the two buildings adjacent to it and the former Magistrate's Court. Compared to the initial idea, however, it was necessary to make changes , considering the constraints imposed by the Superintendency : the House Museum will therefore remain practically intact, except for a connection to the upper floor which will make all the spaces now off limits usable, even for people with disabilities.
«We are happy that this project is going ahead despite the difficulties encountered due to the constraints imposed. When we bring it to the Council, it will have to be specified that it will constitute a variant of the detailed plan of the historic centre. Once completed, it will be a beautiful structure capable of truly welcoming everyone: able-bodied people and those affected by disabilities will finally be able to visit all the spaces. We are also comforted by the increase in visitors and we are certain that it will continue to increase», says the .
