Bologna's Porticoes are a World Patrimony of Humanity

Firma affinch? Portici di Bologna vengano dichiarati Patrimonio dell'Umanit? I believe it would be important to promote, on an international level, the recognition of Bologna's Porticoes as World Patrimony of Humanity. The Porticoes are a distinguishing feature of Bologna and its outlying areas: from the historic center to the Monte della Guardia, up to the historic centers of the cities in the province - they are all an integral part of Bologna itself Publish a census of the existing porticoes and promote their documentation Manage funds to guarantee a weekly cleaning of the pavement for all porticoes, even outside the center The porticoes are a unique example of private structures intended for public use: while respecting private property - with relatives duties and recognitions - we need ti fill a gap, which up to now has not acknowledged the elevated social value of the porticoes or guaranteed their cleanliness. At the present time, the malodorous pools of germs and toxic gas have led to a chain of events: the closing down of businesses, the fragmentation of building property the porticoes belong to, the uncivil behavior of the users, the air pollution due to vehicle traffic, temperature control systems (heating and cooling), and smoke, in addition to the dirtiness of the columns, capitals, statues, and walls. Thank You for the attention paid and for Your firm "architectura est firmitatis utilitatis venustatis pia ratio in bonum"
