2026 maintenance plan for municipal buildings used for social services
Date of the event:
On 3 November 2026 Turin's city executive (Giunta comunale) approves the final design (progetto esecutivo) for extraordinary maintenance works on buildings used for assistance, public charity and personal services for 2026. The measure, put forward on the initiative of deputy mayor Michela Favaro, who holds the Property portfolio, together with the councillor for Social Policies Jacopo Rosatelli, provides for a total investment of 300,000 euros to refurbish and bring up to current safety, hygiene and structural-soundness standards the municipally owned buildings used for social activities across the city.[1]
The planned works
The plan covers several buildings in the city. At Casa Farinelli, in via Farinelli, the shower block is to be rebuilt. At the via Carrera shelter (Dormitorio) and the building in via Norberto Rosa, the pipework and sewer collectors will be restored. At the social services offices in via De Sanctis, the entrance is to be brought up to standard, while in strada dell'Aeroporto resurfacing of manhole covers and asphalt is planned. Decorative work and the motorisation of shutters, together with general maintenance, will also affect the Spazi Reali on corso San Maurizio, the premises in via Banfo and the building on the corner of via Cellini and via Nizza. All the works will use high energy-efficiency materials.[1]
Statements
Deputy mayor Michela Favaro, who holds the Property portfolio, said the funding would make it possible to upgrade and maintain buildings that house essential services, stressing that safeguarding the city's property is necessary to keep offering support and assistance to people who need it. The councillor for Social Policies, Jacopo Rosatelli, said that the quality of social services also depends on the quality of the spaces in which they are delivered, and that the works would make the facilities that host people in situations of need and vulnerability safer, more accessible and more functional.[1]
