OPEN LETTER to the media
SHRINE OF ADONAI BRUCOLI BEFORE THE RESTORATION 
THE PILGRIMAGE OF August 5 
http://www.adonai.too.it/
Long hours shorter hours.
was the title of a theme played when I was at school in the sixties.
Today we play another: Disaster: a long time ... soon.
Dear Sir,
was September 19, 2009 when the Giornale di Sicilia published complete with a poster outside the sanctuary of dell'Adonai Brucoli was ready to be reopened. lacked only the last test .
Meanwhile, the building was reopened Bellomo SR (after five years of restoration), was the announcement that the castle was reopened Brucoli (after two years of restoration, but in fact only a few hours and only for "bridging" or occasional events). A few weeks before had been delivered (to whom?) Restored the strong victory. Unattainable before and even now.
militarized long been the strong tower Avalos.
closed again, for decades, the Swabian castle of Augusta. (Even the small museum inside the fort that was there had to move). Indeed it was closed.
The airship hangar in Augusta is still waiting. Megara
Hyblaea is cut off from the tourist circuits and other treasures of our country (eg. Catacombs of the reel) does not even know the residents.
From Sicily, Augusta, started with a spectacular journey to find the submarine Toti place in Milan in the museum of science at Augusta rust peace in his twin submarine Mocenigo.
The belief that I made is that the "Centrale Siracusa" all domains at the expense of the periphery. Perhaps the tourism in Syracuse "is worth more than that of Augusta.
Yes, Syracuse has to live on tourism,
Augusta has to die instead of petrochemicals.
at Augusta have arisen in recent years a number of hotels: the Venus, the Cavalera, the Zuppello Campoli, various bed-breakfast, in addition to the tourist village of Brucoli at Villa Marina, Villa Bay and Caesars.
A city that was taking a different path than that indicated by contracting short-sighted and perhaps too linked to those corporations that have ravaged and plundered the land and the ecosystem and destroyed or seriously compromise the clean resource of tourism.
I also consider myself a sort of "tour operator", but not in the classic sense. With the sanctuary dell'Adonai offered a special service groups and religious associations wishing to enjoy (without the exorbitant costs of the hotel) a fantastic place full of charm and history, offering you a place of prayer and contemplation, a pilgrimage , a place where I could run around swarms of happy children who wore the uniform of the Scouts. Since work began on the so-called "restoration" sanctuary was closed to the faithful. Today, 18 months after the end of the work, the sanctuary is empty and closed.
over a year and a half, for that wonderful Sicilian red tape, delays and inconveniences disabled who was very expert in artificial, but unassailable even by the Minister Brunetta, the Sanctuary dell'Adonai wait until after the testing began June 30, 2009, after 13 months end of the meeting lasted a total of 17 months versus 12 expected. It is understood that the testers have to play a much more heavy and demanding work of the masons.
To begin the restoration dell'Adonai it took 17 years after the earthquake of 1990. For all this we must say a heartfelt thanks to the Sicilian Region and for other things (solid waste incinerators and regasification) against our territory has followed procedures for "high speed". Hospitality and tourism should not have any precedence in the area north of Syracuse, perhaps because they have decided for us the logic that has led to the elimination of Melissa Marina.
I was hoping that with a total of € 1,150,000.00, allocated by the Law 433/91 Sanctuary return to its ancient splendor. Instead, the splendor of its ancient past has been irretrievably destroyed, the work was badly done and already affect the future of the shrine itself. My protests and comments on the work were considered only a nuisance to those who had obtained the post by the Region.
Complaints to the Superintendent, to the Region for Civil Protection, and promptly sent in advance, were considered only after at least two months late, when the damage was already done. To document the destruction of this restoration have been depressing photographs.
Someone even tried to shift the blame to me of late because of these observations and the fact that even before the test, when (10 months after the end of the work) wanted to return it to me in this terrible state, I said no. In their own way I would have to passively succumb to the logic of those "I'm in charge here and she shut up" and "take it or whether or not it ever will regain it." I would remind myself that to have "the right to reconstruction" took part in the barricades of the 1991 earthquake he did not want to be a citizen of series B.
projects, business and officials, however, found themselves in his hands, never having fought as we did, in a gold plate (for the work, duties and fees) a sum that was spent on evil, which is only served to destroy one of the most beautiful and most significant of our territory.
My daily presence on site was unwelcome, what they hoped, be handed to them the keys and I left to return to destruction over?
During these months, save the situation and regain possession of the sanctuary I wrote to everyone from the president of the province to those in the region and even the President of the Republic, I wrote to the Board of
country's history, cultural heritage even provincial councilor to the Minister for cultural heritage;
I wrote to the prefect and chairman of the board;
I wrote to the competent civil protection departments of local, regional and national before the earthquake in Italy, where, in a few months time to record what they have achieved here Sicily has not been possible in almost twenty years. Then it is imperative to think that disasters are not all equal.
civil defense officials national and regional level are too busy to attend to the places messes left completely unprotected and unable to respond offices to apply, where talk is concerned with how to search for dead under a mountain of mud, just to remember the last tragedy in which, once time, the victims were likely to be considered second class because Sicily.
The few replies received by the institutions were of wonder and stress, some have never responded even though the sites have the heading "contact us". I contacted
Door to door: no answer. Abruzzo is changed even for the schedule.
I contacted more than three rai sent me two answers: "It talk in the newsroom. " Will stand still talking. I contacted
Report, Ballarò, Year Zero, Hello region Bell'Italia. Nothing. It's been too long since the earthquake of 1990. The case is (should be) closed.
Striscia la notizia: "Thanks for bringing this reported"!
A politician of the province of Syracuse, who held the post of commissioner for reconstruction, regional parliamentary today, was informed of the failure to return as soon as September 1, 2008 and had promised to "immediately" his interest.
I came to suspect that he stepped on the foot to someone powerful or important, but that was not up to the task.
For weeks, I see the prime minister who gave the keys of the new houses: the sanctuary dell'Adonai, however, even changing the locks at the gates, preventing even to take care of the secular and the ornamental vegetation .
Assisi, L'Aquila gathered the fragments of the frescoes with sieves: the Sanctuary Adonai were even destroyed part of architecturally and historically significant, he acknowledged - but only after completion - even the superintendent of Syracuse by requiring the restoration.
Yet the restoration project had previously all visas and approvals. But this project personally I've never seen before approval. Only after the commencement of the work I came to know as the work advanced, and since I knew immediately that the sanctuary would have lost forever its historic aspect.
the summer of 2007, when they were still in progress the restoration, was returned after seven years a crew of Blue Line Rai to do the filming on the sanctuary, but arrived on the site told me: "Excuse me, Father, but where 'it turned out the antiquity of this sanctuary? ".
Even in these hours, seven months after the earthquake, the prime minister went to Abruzzo and bring smiles to distribute keys. Here, thanks to the region of Sicily and, thanks to the regional civil protection, after almost 19 years after the earthquake we can still wait, we are tenacious in Sicily ... in the meantime.
Once in Italy there was a crime of "omission of official acts." But as we know, in Sicily or this type of crime does not exist, or the region of Sicily, is not part of Italy. Or the contracts were given "Sicilian." The earthquake of 1990 has clearly demonstrated.
