Laurana We took the ship, the morning of Thursday 8 the evening of Friday 9.
Nearly a thousand people have succeeded, present all the time we were on the 200, and at night a score. At night the CC have verified the documents.
the morning of 8 are facing the majority of city councilors, who then quickly are gone. They were those of the minority, for a continuous presence of the municipal council of Lipari. Present were members of the Committee of agitation, all Liparoti. (We were not involved / consulted when they made ...).
It is discussed at length (among them) up until they take the ship. He should have set sail on Thursday to go to Naples. Rumors going around saying that he went we would not see her again. In fact her course was Porto Empedocles. It was decided to block it until the return of the mayor, who was in Rome to meet with the government. He had to return at four in the afternoon. It came back around midnight. In the meantime I, for another, so we decided to make the ticket for Stromboli to see. It was difficult, do not want him to do. I have it, it will be a beautiful memory.
All the while, various people took the word, explaining the various steps in the situation that we had arrived.
We were at the lower deck, where they stop the truck, but the upper decks were open. The
bar. For each intervention
people reacted with strong or weak applause .... all very quiet and normal.
midnight came the mayor, who has guaranteed victory and the continuation of services, but everything about the minister's words, without any of the specific commitments required, particularly in regard to the unbundling of companies and Usticalines Siremar. He promised a document demanding the minister, being developed and added. It has been strongly contested. No one took the guarantees provided for good. Non-existent, inadequate, unfit, and it was decided to continue the occupation.
All day on Lipari shops remained closed.
From Stromboli were: Mary and Vince Cusolito, Carlo Lanza, Giulio Taranto and his wife, David and I Liuni. In the morning you are facing and Attilio Nunziata Famularo, who are then left with the hydrofoil in the afternoon. Mario Cincotta appeared at five minutes with majority of the directors who then are quickly gone, the night we stayed me and David.
The next day I jumped to my cats for Stromboli, and I knew last night that Charles had returned, had a meeting to inform people and that a small group was willing to come, but from Lipari had come the news that the ship would be freed. I called two counselors who have told me that they probably would have decided to release it and I advised against returning. I came back the same, and with me came Ginostra Carol, his wife Ulli.
On board was a bit 'of confusion. The council complained that being in the minority who could not cover occupava.La Mrs. Conti Albergo Giardino sul Mare, said he saw no reason to continue the occupation. The new president of Federalberghi, Christian Del Bono, always present, has never taken the parola.Nemmeno Councillor Giorgianni, always present. The City Council Sabatini said that another director would come, the Vice Megna afflicted with pneumonia. In fact arrived, but did not say much.
Mr. Di Giovanni, Siremar employee and co-director of the Villaggio Stromboli, said that everything was okay because he had a sheet of bookings for future travel Laurana Ship from Naples to Stromboli. It has been much disputed.
They spoke several times local councilors Vincenzo Cincotta (of Lipari), James Bivian, Lauria, Sources Gesuele, Lo Cascio, also came together to plan, present that under Ricardo Gullo has never intervened, Ms. Conti, Sabattini, etc..
At one point, after the arrival of Megna, presented the chairman of the municipal council of Lipari, Longo. Majority and yet not present. He tried to speak, smiling, trying to say was that moment happened to salutarci.A pandemonium, people (many young people, young people have always been present in quantity, even at night, but still quiet) , booed, shouted "buffoon", and they are all gone. have been waiting outside the ship, on the square, and when it came out (It took time), was covered with expletives and insults various injuries. Buffone prevailed.
Then we all went there, I did not understand where and how and when it had been decided, and voted to remove the block. Probably when the city council said that in the absence of majority they could not guarantee ..... Before the arrival of the president and his deputy. It may be that many things have escaped me. I'm away for a couple of hours.
Anyway, on Friday aboard the situation had changed since the beginning. Upon my return were inaccessible upper decks, bathrooms and the bar.
The final decision is:
The ship has been withdrawn on day 14 as previously planned. But will go to Porto Empedocles at the end of January.
At Stromboli there will be a meeting of the Permanent Council of the district from 16 days onwards.
On January 20, in Rome, there will be a "table" with the State, Region, City Council and one representative of the agitation of Lipari.
(...!?...) Minister would ensure the continuation of the service such as until the end of the year.
No representative of the other islands is invited to the technical board.
----------------- this is what I have seen, heard and understood.
On my return, I spoke with people, I pointed out that the line was Stromboli Napoli created in the late 800, by the people of Stromboli to commercialize the Malvasia. And I said to the son of Mario Cincotta, that if the tear is made. They did not defend, or have changed against some favor.
I asked you to do enter in the technical board. With the demands and proposals.
Whatever happens, the line of Naples will be closed and will suffer only Stromboli. It was provided by the service contract until the end of 2012. It calls for the
scorporo.Non know what it is, but the lines are grouped, boh this you will know you. Laurana
probably will be replaced at the end of January, I hope, but with what?
The winter line is too expensive .. They are full of debt and the region does not want to buy. They promised the money, 46 million, a fund that, according to some, is not suitable and is a frottola.Prenderanno the decision to maintain only a summer fast ferry. I overheard. And Liparoti will agree.
I think you should definitely ask for the maintenance of the route between Naples and Stromboli, opened by Strombolans 130 years ago.
You can propose, which is reduced to a race only a week. So conciliatory.
You can propose a vessel which is designed much smaller, between the months of November and late March.
Besides you can not go.
I had an idea: Go to a mooring large, and ask them to consider the possibility of a small ship (we have this type of service between France and England, from Brest to Ouessant, where the sea is always strong, are ships like tugs or vessels, leading up to a hundred people have seats but no cabins, and travel to any time). One could think of a line from Naples to Stromboli Napoli, without continuing to other islands, who, wishing to take advantage of the service should come to us.
With added traffic of goods to be traced, and finally the right propaganda for our island and winter is "sport."
If the line that it is not profitable is because the tourism policy Enlargement of the season has never been undertaken.
The volcanism, which makes us a unique place in the world heritage site, always despised by the first administrator and never exploited. The only wealth that no one can take.
Without us there would be no one to Lipari. I confirmed it with an old employee of Siremar who I spoke at length.
It is time we gave it a move. And that's strombolanoi regain a bit 'of the value of their elders, that in Naples there were loads of barrels, from the sails of the barges with heavy canvas.
you who have chosen the island, think over. Give courage to the islanders rabbits, seek solutions, advice, give us a hand. You have to call here, tell them not to give up, to hold on, because they alone do not make it. Aimée.
