Waste of public bodies. Lights on at 9 am in the historic center of Siena while the energy is sky high. Nobody intervenes
It’s happening again in Siena. Energy costs gold, just look at the price of gasoline over 2 euros, but in the Tuscan city the street lamps are on at 9 in the morning. Long live the waste, long live the abundance, one might say. But is such a situation acceptable? Citizens are struggling with very high bills, even 4 times those of a few months ago, and the Municipality of Siena allows itself to waste it like this? So much the citizens still pay, indirectly with taxes.
What will Prime Minister Mario Draghi think, the one who said: “What do we prefer the peace or the air conditioner on all summer?”. But which air conditioners? Here we are at pure waste!
LOOK AT THE PICTURES
In Siena, as we said weeks ago, the street lamps of the historic center light up during the day. It happened again, last Tuesday. You can see the lights in the photos sent to us by some readers in the main street, Banchi di Sopra, in via di Città, at Costarella, in Fontebranda, 100 meters from the beautiful Piazza del Campo.
As in May we showed the images of the historic center of the city, all illuminated by artificial street lamps with the sun plunging into the sky so it is today. Nothing has changed. No communication from the Municipality that can explain what happened.

We had talked about similar and intermittent situations that occurred in San Benedetto del Tronto and Bologna while the premier ranted against even the use of energy.
In these hours Fatih Birol, a man at the top of the International Energy Agency, that Russia’s decision to cut gas supplies to European countries could lead to further serious problems. “Europe should be ready in case Russian gas is completely cut off”, told an interview with the Financial Times. The real problem remains the winter but the movements of the Russians suggest that we want to avoid that the countries that buy gas from Moscow prepare the storage for the coldest season.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Ecology Transition Cingolani has decided not to go from the state of pre-alarm to that of alarm for do not push prices up again and favor speculators. But Terna, which controls the national electricity grid, has been activated to purchase coal and understand how to reduce the cost of methane.
The situation is getting hot. And in the meantime nothing changes in Siena.
