Aps Popolare Marola Launches Broader Revitalization Agenda
Aps Popolare Marola stated that the plaque project forms part of a broader revitalization agenda launched by its new board of directors, ex Mutuo Soccorso. Additional efforts include the recovery and a new use of the Green Area, digitizing documents from the historical archive of the Società di Mutuo soccorso di Marola under the upcoming protection of the Superintendency, and hosting social dinners and concerts.
The association is also using events to support the battle of the Borgata to not lose the little sea remaining and finance projects. Organizers stated that technical solutions will be explored to restore water flow to the spring.
