We do it in the awareness of how much the usability of well-kept and well-kept green spaces is important for the quality of life of the neighborhoods and of the city and with attention to all age groups of those who frequent them: from the smallest, with a commitment to the restructuring and construction of play areas, to the elderly to whom we provide areas for aggregation and relaxation, to our four-legged friends with dog areas equipped with agility courses and to sportsmen, for whom we have thought of a specific plan for areas dedicated to fitness ”said Councilor Alfonsi.
