Our Fortezza Nuova (New Fortress) has been closed since early 2009, with rare openings of the hall at the entrance only for events or exhibitions. The last time I saw the park inside was in September 2009, but I can't really imagine how it is now after four years that it was practically abandoned and left by itself.
But someone was at work inside the fortress on Friday morning, pruning trees and tending the grass.
Maybe this is part of the frantic effort of sprucing up our town in view of next spring's local election.

Unfortunately, that might be the reason for the spruce up.
ReplyDeleteNice wall.
ReplyDeleteWell, elections are good for something then.
ReplyDeleteI always wince at such severe pruning of trees.
There is some serious pruning going on there. I hope the trees survive it!
ReplyDeleteYou are right. It might be because of elections. Looks like a nice place VP.

ReplyDeleteI hope it isn't the only reason...
