Fratelli d'Italia question on the decay of the Bagni Pubblici steps in Vanchiglia

On 13 November 2026 Fratelli d'Italia councillor Patrizia Alessi presents a question (interpellanza) to District 7 on the decay of the steps of the Bagni Pubblici (Public Baths) in via Agliè, in Vanchiglia. The question, signed together with fellow group members Francesco Caria and Domenico Giovannini, denounces the transformation of this historic neighbourhood landmark into a gathering place for drinking in the open (bivacco) in the evening and at night, amid noise and abandoned rubbish ^[1].

Background

The steps of the Bagni Pubblici, at the corner of corso Regina Margherita and via Vanchiglia, are described as a new focal point for night-time movida after police checks were stepped up in via Balbo. According to the question, some of those who used to gather in that street have moved along via Vanchiglia, in an area already marked by tensions linked to excesses of night-time movida in piazza Santa Giulia ^[1].

Positions

The president of District 7, Luca Deri, plays down the phenomenon, arguing that it involves «barely a dozen people», and asks the opposition which regulation or which article would forbid those young people from gathering in front of the public baths ^[1].

Alessi replies that simply applying the local police regulation already in force would be enough, insisting on the need not to underestimate signs of decay in order to prevent the situation from worsening, so as to protect residents' right to rest ^[1].
