Demolition of Vicolo della Palestra Basketball Gym Begins
The demolition of the currently unused basketball gym in Vicolo della Palestra is set to begin, marking the end of an era for the former sports complex. The intervention will also involve the fields once used for handball and hockey, as efforts are made to revamp the area.
The works on this former sports complex are expected to last until the first week of July. As a result, there will be a total ban on pedestrians passing along the road adjacent to the building and in the construction site area. This means that reaching San Lorentino on foot, for example from the tennis club or the social gathering centre, will be prohibited for the entire duration of the works.
The demolition of the basketball gym and the accompanying fields marks a significant shift in the area’s landscape and amenities. It remains to be seen what plans are in store for the site once the demolition is complete.
Local residents and sports enthusiasts have mixed feelings about the demolition. While some see it as a necessary step towards progress and development, others feel nostalgic about the loss of a once-thriving sports complex.
The demolition is expected to draw attention from both the local community and authorities. It will be interesting to see how the area transforms in the coming months and what new developments are in store for Vicolo della Palestra.
