Our Fortezza Nuova (New Fortress) has been closed since early 2009 and its reopening was announced at least six times in the past years. The local daily “Il Tirreno” has also published an interesting infographic with all the past missed dates.
At last, the park will reopen today with a ceremony and a feast of sorts. The first time I wrote about this closure I said that the fortress would have reopened in time for the local elections in June 2009.
I was wrong about the year, but not about the elections: the next ones are in May.

Let's let bygones be bygones. It is open NOW!
Love that plam tree.
Well congratulations! So good that there are elections from time to time.
Will you be at the ceremony today?
Thanks for the two helpful links.
Wonderful! Hope you guys have a nice day.
At least it is reopening, even if a bit later than planned.
Yes, the next elections will be in May here too and it was (finally!) announced the opening of the huge new coach museum which costed a fortune and, without maintenance, will start to deteriorate soon...
Elections usually help to get some things done, not always as they should be...
I presume we shall now go inside?
I love this look. Looks to be a fine place to shoot photos too.
Looks nice! Was it in the "HAPPY" film from Livorno?
