We report a note published on Facebook by the Honorable Member Barbara Mazzali (Brothers of Italy), regional councilor of the Lombardia: “Last year I worked with great commitment and passion to get the notice on roccoli, so that the modernization and pruning works of these wonderful human works that we hunters know well could be financed. The call for the financing of conservative interventions of the Lombard roccoli year 2020. But I didn't want to stop there, I also wanted to help the owners to participate in this opportunity, because I know that it is not easy for everyone to take the bureaucratic path to ask for this help.
And so today I am happy to announce that a lady I followed in this process obtained the requested funding! I'm talking about the lady Mariangela Ravelli (thank you for giving me permission to mention her), owner of a roccolo that she takes care of with her husband in the province of Bergamo. The roccolo is located in an area of pastures alternating with woods, just above the CAI path 543 that connects the "Serio" hamlet of Casnigo to Mount Farno.
The roccolo trees have always been regularly pruned over the years by the owner, but in recent times the effort of this operation had begun to become excessive and there was a need for external professional help. In addition, the internal poles and the wooden structures that constitute the "pergolas" on which the trees are raised were to be placed. All these works will now be completed and the Lombardy Region will pay the bill. I am really happy to say that the Lombardy Region exists also for roccoli, also for our people, even for those who have dedicated their lives to traditions ”.
