(ANSA) - Milan, August 14 - "Avanzo to all groups presentiin City Council the proposal to name Gino Strada, who died at 73, a public place of our city.
Being a personality missing for less than ten years, we will ask an exemption to the prefect ". This is what Roberto DiStefano, mayor of Sesto San Giovanni writes, the town near the gates of Milan where the founder of Emergency was born. "Due to the commitment, passion and great love he has put into all his activities in Italy and abroad, we believe it is right - he adds - that his name and his memory are always engraved in a public place in Sesto San Giovanni" .
The center-right mayor of Sesto expressed his intention to ask the prefect for an exemption to name a public place after Gino Strada before 10 years after his death in response to Enrico Mentana, who on Facebook asked the mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala to dedicate to the founder of Emergency a city park.
"Mayor Sala, not only to respond in the most exemplary way to the many provocations of these days, but also and above all since his figure is certainly worthy of it, because - Mentana writes - not to name one of the parks in his Milan after Gino Strada?". (HANDLE).
