The tricolor flag flies on top of the former Hotel Turritania in Sassari. It is the sign that all the floors have been installed in the work financed with 6.5 million euros of the Pnrr obtained by the previous Campus administration and which should represent one of the tangible signs of the rebirth of the historic center.

This morning, journalists and the 2nd Council Commission visited the complex, where work is approximately 60 percent complete.

"We have already created the partition - says the sole project manager Alessandra Bertulu - of the 18 apartments that will be located in the structure, divided into 4 two-room apartments, 10 three-room apartments and 4 four-room apartments". Apartments built, reports the Rup, "with criteria of high energy efficiency, distribution of spaces and habitability".

The forecast is that the work will be completed by December 2025 and that in March it will be possible to carry out the testing respecting the timetable dictated by the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

"It is an important example of redevelopment - says Patrizia Mercuri, municipal councilor for Housing Policies, Heritage and Citizen Services - For the first time we are working with properties of the municipal administration".

Mercuri specifies that the premises will be home to "people who belong to the grey band, that is, those who do not have the characteristics to be able to benefit from Erp public housing but, at the same time, do not have the income to be able to afford rent on the market".

In addition to the apartments , a conference room, a gym, study spaces, offices, areas with a shared kitchen and a terrace that could host a refreshment area are planned . "It is essential to underline - remarks Antonio Paoni, president of the II Commission - that all the spaces are without architectural barriers". But the new building of the former Hotel Turritania will in its intentions overturn the stigma of degradation of Sassari Vecchia to which it was associated. "It will take on a new life - concludes Bertulu - becoming a driving force for the redevelopment of the entire lower part of the historic center through various actions that are linked and connected to the same financing".
