, removed the fountains

Removed waterworks. In recent days, the city of Taranto has hired a company responsible for: removing the structure (rather what was left of it), make a report on the reasons of failure and move around in the former slaughterhouse. All this for a figure somewhere between 40 and 50 thousand euro. There, in the former slaughterhouse, now there is a local store and soon those who should be the fountains will be sold as scrap. Old iron, as they say. A miserable end to these games, in the conception of the former Mayor Rossana Di Bello, had to pull over in the collective Taranto in Las Vegas. And, conversely, have been one of the symbols or even a symbol of the failure of City Palace.
Not only that, water games. The unfortunate ending of the structure of the Great Sea could be even fish market float. Two dreams ... futile. The reasons for this failure are technical and administrative tasks before. In fact, the project co-financed by the city (the rest of the costs was covered with funds Por) was realized physically only for a day. Only for the opening night. Then he stopped almost immediately. In reality, then the water began to gush for a few weeks and then stopped again. The machines that were supposed to set in motion the mechanism jammed often due to excessive salinity of the water of the Great Sea.
Yeah why so-called water features persisted in the sea below the "railing". Were visible until a few days ago the street, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, just the remnants of the fountains. In extreme summary, the view prevailing in the communal areas is that these games were designed to be achieved or at least questionable. Maybe if they had been placed in Mar Piccolo, given the difference in rate of saline and the different currents, all would be the right way. Who knows ... The slow erosion of time and the waves of the sea, had rendered useless a work cost 600 thousand euro. A waste evident. Starkly apparent.
A "ballast" which slipped to come up Stephen. Removing dell'altroieri remove the emphasis that accompanied this project six years ago. But the bitter taste of the money thrown into the sea (it must be said) is still intact.
