The village of Cerisano was the protagonist on the frequencies of RTL 102.5. During the direct radio, the mayor Lucio Di Gioia presented the data relating to the municipal administration, highlighting the achievement of the total expenditure of the allocated resources. By the deadline of 30 June, the municipality employed 100% of the PNRR funds received, exceeding the national average stops at 33%. The issuer’s conductors noted the exceptionality of the result for a small local community.
Concrete results and requalification of Palazzo Sersale
The use of European funds has allowed the activation of many interventions on the territory. In the field of education and services to the family the free nursery, a post-school service and the complete requalification of school buildings were introduced.
On the cultural level, the main intervention involved Palazzo Sersale, transformed into an active hub throughout the year.
The historic building now houses collaborations with the Conservatory and the University of Calabria for the organization of masters and laboratories. An audio-visual recording room has also been created.
Contrast to depopulation and human resource management
The theme of population decline, a phenomenon widespread in small Italian centres, has been faced as a challenge to fight through the offer of services and infrastructure. The success in programming and execution of the work was attributed to the selection of a team of technicians and experts dedicated to the management of the PNRR projects.
The mayor Di Gioia has highlighted how the availability of qualified staff represents a determining factor for local authorities, hoping for additional government interventions to support the operational and design capabilities of Municipalities.
