A drainage pipe for rainwater passing over Montecarlo harbour collapsed

A drainage pipe for rainwater, which passes over the port of Montecarlo, has collapsed under the weight of water at the end of November, with
a collapse of the cast iron pipes that overlook the “Albert II” Nautical Center. No actual damage, but the immediate closure of the building was necessary to inspect the 340 square meters of the ceiling and to avoid risks for the public, sports associations and schools.

A work with 128 tubes, many green and travertine: here is the new square in via Palermo in Perugia

128 galvanized iron pipes, painted black and mounted on a reinforced concrete base with black epoxy resin surface finish. All wrapped by panels covered with mirrored aluminum sheet that reflect in a fragmentary way the pedestrians and the surrounding urban landscape. It is the sculptural
work conceived by the designer Fabrizio Milesi, who will stand at the center of the new square in via Palermo in Perugia, which will probably be ready at the end of 2019. It will be a public space with a lot of travertine, green, a bus stop and seating areas, which will also serve to enhance a little visible
and little known building even if it was realized in the eighties by Bruno Signorini, a Perugian architect among the most important of the twentieth century Italian : it is the headquarters of Confindustria Umbria, an entity that finances the works with an investment of 350 thousand euro out of a total of 500 thousand.
