Monza? ” It is becoming one capital of sport. After Formula 1 and volleyball, where we have two teams in the top flight, now football is added. If as a fan you crown a dream, as a mayor, I say that the city brand will be worth more ”. Dario Allevi mayor of Monza, draw up an initial assessment after the Stroppa boys won the top league in Serie A football. ” now we expect to see thousands of new visitors ”. Which translated means tourists: ” of course, Monza already offers a lot from this point of view. From the Royal Villa to the Iron Crown, but there is no doubt – he tells Adnkronos – that today we have another weapon. On the other hand, sport has a strong attractive power; Suffice it to say that over 230 thousand tickets have already been sold for the formula one Grand Prix, for an induced amount of 150 million euros ”.
Now it is a question of increasing the induced activity generated by the enthusiasm on the football front. ”With Berlusconi and Galliani we are in an iron barrel. They are the first to believe in it and to transmit enthusiasm and initiatives. Yesterday I saw the game next to the two of them, it was like a movie. We went from rags to riches, then I went down with them to celebrate in the locker room, and this morning I went to sleep at the crack of dawn. ”
But the official celebrations will take place tomorrow. ” Today is a day of decanting. Tomorrow – he says – there will be a great evening at the stadium preceded by a coach with the team on board for a city tour, then at 7.30 pm the official award ceremony at the U-Power Stadium, with the Serie B league ”. Stadium, yes, another chapter to be addressed. There are those who say that Berlusconi has the project for a new plant ready in the drawer, but for now we will proceed in small steps. ” there will be work to bring the capacity to 15 thousand, then I know of a second step to make the stadium more usable ”.
And if Berlusconi makes the fans dream by talking about the Scudetto and the Champions League, Allevi believes that we can look carefully at the Atalanta model who, with the Percassi management, has carved out a leading role in the Italian and international football scenario. ” There is room to grow. I hope there is a similar path. We are talking about a province of 900 thousand inhabitants, where the kids no longer cheer only Juve Inter or Milan, but Monza, which is becoming a point of reference for the younger generations and which can act as a driving force for the entire city. ”
