Storms Municipalities in the upper Maggia Valley launch joint reconstruction project

The municipalities of Bavona and Lavizzara, which were hardest hit by the storms in the upper Maggia Valley, have launched a joint reconstruction campaign. Both municipalities lack the money to rebuild houses and public buildings, they said.

"Bavona e Lavizzara: Ricostruiamo insieme" - "Bavona and Lavizzara: We are rebuilding together" is the name of the campaign presented to the media on Wednesday. It aims to raise money together and coordinate the reconstruction.

A large part of his municipality was destroyed within a few hours, said Gabriele Dazio, mayor of Lavizzara, at the media conference above the ice rink in Prato Sornico, which was destroyed by the floods.

"We must now do everything we can to find the strength to bring this beautiful landscape back to life," concluded Dazio.
