Periferici

Bruno De Santi tells us Largo Italia, a large empty space that lends itself, in the imagination, to many diversified functions, necessary in a city where green spaces are absent.

Giulia Bonanno, architect, tells us about the only playground in the city. A small, poorly managed space that fails to meet the needs of all children.

Giulia Romagnosi tells us about an empty space adjacent to the Santa Gemma Elementary School. A school that, like many in the city, has little green space to entertain children. This could be a solution for you.

Giulia Gancitano tells us about Piazzale Europa. An empty space between social housing that could be a meeting place for an entire neighborhood. Given the proximity of a middle school could be a solution.

Peppe Pipitone tells us about the Church of Sant'Antonio present in Mazara Due. Peripheral site constitutes an entire detached core of the city from which it is completely isolated due to the absence of public transport

Roberta Ragonese, architect, tells us about her neighborhood. Via Potenza is home to a complex of social housing. Despite being inside the city it lives on a certain marginality due to the little care it has received so far.

Alberto Grammatico, Designer, tells us about the place where he lives. Corso Vittorio Veneto, fully in the city center, has some shortcomings. According to him there are no meeting places and the people who live there do not enter into communication.

Giovanni Ianuzzo tells us about Tonnarella. Seaside resort famous for its white sand, poured in disastrous conditions for years. In winter it remains totally uninhabited and the summer lacks meeting places other than the beaches on the beach, which close in the evening.

Nadia Burzotta tells us about the construction of the flyover. Work conceived twenty years ago and remained blocked for decades today finds the light again. But the needs have changed. In fact, it had to be used to connect State Road 115 with the Port at a time when the city was central to fishing. Today the crisis in the sector makes this work almost nourishing.

Michele Mandira tells us about the Lungomare San Vito. A beautiful waterfront does not host meeting places to be able to live it properly.

Vittorio Di Stefano tells us "La scinnuta" a place inside the city hidden from view. lends itself to being a space for activities and meetings.

Francesco Di Giorgi tells us about the Lungomare Hopps. An incredible widening that reaches the sea and is left to itself. A place of unquestioned potential but which does not host anything.

Adriano Parisi tells us Miragliano. A place rich in vegetation where the Mazaro River passes. Once people used to come here to spend holidays like Easter Monday or May Day. Today it is no longer able to attract and it would be nice to restore that tradition.
