“In Romagna, after the flood of a year ago, we have a great opportunity to make the roof safe and to innovate, but in terms of compensation the Government is very stingy, just as on the special plans we are waiting for the commissioner structure to present a strategic plan for the area south of the Rhine":These are the words of Michele De Pascale who spoke at Planet Week in Turin in view of the G7 environment, climate and energy under the Italian Presidency.
