Samuele Pilutti, on the other hand, received a special mention for a project that was greatly appreciated by the members of the “jury” even in its complexity of implementation.
«I thank the merchants for this wonderful initiative, the administration is ready to listen to the innovative proposals that become an effective contribution to the beauty of the city. A heartfelt thanks also because the project was self-financed, involved the school and sets an excellent example of teamwork» are the words of the mayor of Udine Pietro Fontanini, present at the meeting together with the deputy mayor Loris Michelini and the councilor for activities productive Maurizio Franz.
«I think it’s a good opportunity to make young people protagonists with an original idea to beautify their city, an idea that was implemented in a very short time. It also allowed students who come from outside the city to get to know Udine and its centre. I thank the teachers for having been able to involve young people with enthusiasm and competence».
