fire engulfs the auditorium in via Albergotti, among the Sacchetti Pine-wood and circonvallazione Cornelia, Rome. The stake would have been generated by a spark during the work for the installation of a sheath for a window: the flames have completely covered the roof. Firefighters are working with three teams (two tankers and two turntable ladders) and have closed the road: the inevitable repercussions on the traffic of the area (already intense). The structure – the building site had lasted more than 13 years with the expenditure of 1.6 million euros – was not yet opened. Would have to be a cultural center with a seating capacity of 200 is open to residents of the Triumphant, a suburb of the Capital.
new works
According to preliminary reports, the fire could have been caused by renovation works in progress and financed by the XIII Municipality. “The auditorium, a cultural centre for the whole area of Trionfale, was to be inaugurated by the end of the year,” admits the president Giuseppina Castagnetta – Wednesday morning workers were putting a sheath on a glass window. Probably from there is generated the fire. A worker has the wrong but fortunately did not hurt”. And is disappointed that the Castagnetta: “Just on Tuesday we had prepared the call for tender for the concession of the auditorium”.
The years of neglect and degradation
The fire is just the latest episode, which concerns a structure from the history of the unfortunate much as troubled. The project dates back to 2003, but the works began only in 2005 and were for a long time at a standstill for lack of funds. The yard was closed only in February. The auditorium in the first of these interventions, has been abandoned for a long time, and as often been indicated as a refuge for drifters and the homeless: in 2011, it was also the scene of a brutal attack on a young. Recently, the auditorium has been spoken about in the newspapers because there was to perform, rapper Skull Alley the night before his death (but the organizers had changed the place of the concert at the last moment).
