(ANSA) - Naples, July 20 - A legislative decree on the 2019
Summer Universiade in Naples will be at the cabinet on Tuesday.
The decree will hand the reins of the event to a high
commissioner chosen by the government after being proposed by
the Campania regional government.
The announcement was made by Undersecretary Pina Castiello in
a statement to the Il Mattino daily.
Castiello also announced that a meeting would be called next
week to get past "all the issues related to the project for the
Naples port".
"We have opted for a high commissioner," the undersecretary
said, "to entrust to the area, without any authoritarian abuse
of power, the governing of administrative and implementation
processes."
On the issue of facilities to be created to house the
sporting event, public competitions for the Campania region
sports facilities have now ended and the timetable will have to
be complied with, which calls for works to begin in August.
The undersecretary to the prime minister's office added that
the athletes' village on cruise ships in the Salerno and
Neapolitan ports was "a choice made for marketing purposes for
Naples that will remain".
