Berlusconi in the 70s in a nanosecond would solve the problem of the gap left by managers and employees of Whirlpool, former Ignis, when they will move to the outskirts of Milan. Like a hawk, it would be sealed on concrete snake that runs parallel to the road to pieces and ricavandovi luxury villas overlooking the lake, Campo dei Fiori and Monte Rosa. The most beautiful balcony of Lombardy. Assumed the name: Comerio 2. It would leave intact a single corner: the panoramic office belonged to Giovanni Borghi, uncle of his friend Fedele Confalonieri. The historic desk, recovered in some cellar, King Silvio would have exposed the Holy Grail, that won the European Cup champions from Milan. But Berlusca deposed the scepter, there is no longer Craxi with Milan to drink, is also moving time for Milan, before whose headquarters stationed in the Chinese buyers limousine. End of the film. It remains the reality, pregnant of unknowns.
Almost a month after the announcement of the great American retreat, no one knows how pincer grasp the hot potato. And it would be strange that before the hob was left alone, the mayor of Comerio, still in shock over the leak into the coffers of his town hall orphan of the most wealthy taxpayers. It will not be so: inaugurating days ago some departments of the new hospital in Varese, Roberto Maroni has said that the responsibility of the business is at least on his shoulders. The governor looks for an idea and replacement with moonlights current task is not easy. In words everyone is interested in the 23 thousand square meters covered, the hundreds of offices, restaurants, Olympic swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball, soccer, gyms that Mister Ignis built generously inventing mediated industrial communication from the sport. At his court there were laborers and gladiators. The factory and the circus. The bread and recreation.
Except that, moving from talk to action, they materialize doubts and uncertainties. First scenario: make a stew of the area, if you can find someone willing to buy it and then sell or rent space to enterprises, including cooperatives. The mayor of Comerio tried it: "The property" Whirlpool gifts. But the latitudes of Michigan believe the price lists of Wall Street, not the Santa Claus pannier. Second scenario: find a single investor who has it in mind to achieve something truly great. Examples: a theme park (hard), a mega mall (no thanks), the headquarters of a company willing to brave the current leaving the metropolitan area and moving in the province (unlikely). Maroni is aware of everything. And when he jumps out of the hypothesis, in this case plausible in Italy s'avvista no tripe for cats, to focus on research.
We are in an area that has lost one by one making centers related to its domains, but retains a dense fabric of productive centers. Transforming the former command of Whirlpool in the laboratory of new technologies at the service, networking, hence, with Politenico of Milan, as well as with universities and Varese Castellanza and with the International Centre in Ispra, it is an outlet , at least to verify. Maroni not do it alone, but he is sitting at a table with a stone guest indispensable: the Whirlpool. World number two US multinational is Marc Bitzer, a German firm that Comerio has flown for a long time the European business. In this area he is very attached: he knows and loves.
However, a first exploratory contact, then operating, between the governor and the super manager seems the only move that, at the time, can avoid stalling. Walls crumbling, rotting doors, a beautiful swimming pool of villages attacked by mosses and algae, so here is your destiny to save in a symbolic place, a kind of monument, dear to the memory of all.
