The collaboration between the Municipality and Angeli del BelloThe city council, upon a proposal from Councilor for Urban Decorum Caterina Biti, approved a resolution for a new agreement with the foundation, which has been committed to the care and protection of the urban environment for years.
“With this act, we resume a path of collaboration that began several years ago and that over time has become a flagship of our city – underlines Councilor Biti –. The new protocol will allow a relaunch of the activities that the Foundation carries out with the Administration in the interest of a city that is increasingly beautiful to live in for citizens and visitors”.
“We are proud to continue this journey alongside the municipal administration to take care of our city together – declares the president of the Foundation Angeli del Bello Giorgio Moretti - Florence is a uniquely beautiful heritage, and urban decorum is a value that concerns everyone, residents and visitors alike. In recent years, thanks to the collaboration with the Municipality, personally overseen by our Vice President Marco Bassilichi, and the tireless commitment of our volunteers, we have achieved concrete results, but we know there is still much to do. This new protocol represents an additional incentive to strengthen our activities: to involve even more people and raise awareness, especially among the youngest, of the importance of respecting and protecting common goods. In October, we will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Angels with the city: a milestone that would not have been possible without the commitment of the Florentines.
The protocol, which will be signed soon, recognizes the importance of the work carried out so far by the Foundation and the achievement of concrete objectives in terms of care and protection of public greenery and urban decorum thanks to cleaning and maintenance projects both in the center and in the suburbs. Among these, to give some examples, the removal of graffiti on buildings, interventions on greenery such as micro-cleaning of gardens and urban parks and small maintenance, promotion of correct behavior of citizens and tourists in the Unesco area, awareness initiatives aimed at the youngest for the respect and care of common goods also involving schools with ad hoc projects such as "Angioletti del Bello" and "Il bello dei ragazzi". And, given the Foundation's desire to continue its commitment, the Administration has decided to sign a new protocol, also lasting five years, not only to continue but also to strengthen the forms of coordination and shared planning.
Objectives: increase and improve the activities carried out so far, increase citizen participation and promote the culture of the common good. The Administration will be able to identify priority lines of intervention and will collaborate in the awareness-raising activity in particular aimed at schools and with actions of education of beauty and respect for architectural and landscape assets promoted by the Foundation with the collaboration of the Municipality.
