The mayor of L'Aquila Pierluigi Biondi said this in an interview with ANSA a few days after the fifteenth anniversary of the earthquake of 6 April 2009. The reference was focused on the progress in reconstruction, especially in comparison with the last five years.

"I am also referring above all to the work in planning school buildings which culminated with a Cipes resolution which allocated a further 33 million euros for the City of L’Aquila alone", the mayor also clarified.
