Around dinner time yesterday, the headlights that illuminate the symbolic monuments of many small and large centers were turned off as a sign of protest against the sudden increase of energy prices. TO Brescia Palazzo Loggia remained in the dark for more or less an hour. Same fate for Palazzo Vecchio, Palazzo Medici Riccardi and Ponte Vecchio in Florence.
“The dear bills it has become unsustainable. Florence symbolically goes out for 30 minutes to ask the government for concrete help “, he wrote on his Twitter profile Dario Nardella, mayor of Florence. But not only Nardella. The alarm was raised by all the mayors who in unison profile “the risk of having to put their hand to the general framework of the expenditure forecasts for the current year, which each municipality has put pen to paper”, reads Bresciaoggi.
“Which would result in a decrease in the quantity and quality of services normally supplied, not to mention the possibility of physically turning off public lighting for long stretches of the evening and night. An eventuality, the latter, to be avoided for a series of reasons, primarily in order to safeguard urban safety ”, continues the online site. “The Anci has calculated that the energy bill, based on current prices, would cost the Italian municipalities overall over half a billion more than in 2021. An average increase that in percentage would be around 30 percent, with all the relapses of the case “.
