Italian Senate Speaker: We have always supported the construction of a new stadium, and the controversy lies in whether to demolish San Siro
Italian Senate President Iniazio Larusa was interviewed and talked about the issues of Milan and Inter's new stadiums.
Are you the highest level of Inter Milan fan in Italy?
"Yes, my desire is to make half of the contribution of Peppino Prisco (Inter Milan Vice-Chairman from 1963 to 2001). "
As an avid Inter Milan fan, you must be very concerned about the discussion of saying goodbye to the Meazza Stadium. What was your first impression of it?
"I was a kid when I first went there, and there was no third-level stand. It gave me the impression of me like the first Christmas tree the kids saw, which left me stunned. Milan is famous for the Opera San Siro and Scala, and each city has a cathedral, but that explains the debate in recent weeks."
Now San Siro will be demolished, Milan mayor Sala said "the city is going forward", and Inter and AC Milan are happy. What else to complain about?
"When Moratti (who stepped in too late and didn't handle it well) said Inter and AC Milan were happy, he should know that the two clubs were happy with the new stadium. But we have always supported the construction of the new stadium, and the point of controversy is whether San Siro was demolished. I even submitted a plan made by the architect to explore the possibility of building another stadium next to San Siro. This possibility still exists."
Still exists?
"Once the new stadium is built, if there is a new government head able to guarantee the club's due rights, is it really necessary to demolish San Siro? Let's see."
