To all the owners of the site
The need to go on quickly to the definition of the destiny of a highly qualifying site not only inside the area of Alta Murgia National Park, but also inside the whole Murgia of Bari push me to write to you. As you well know, the area with the dinosaur footprints falling on your lands is part of a broader set of historical and archaeological emergences, a real course that certifies the passage in Apulia, and especially in the province of Bari, of these giant prehistoric figures. I am sure that you share with us the idea that this heritage represents a surplus value to exploit not only in a tourist key. In addition I am sure that only the awareness of a necessary sharing of this heritage will help us to overcome the current situation of marginalization that a site of this quality does not deserve.
Sharing in order to enhance is the action I want to carry out in favour of all the places with great historical interest, architectural, archaeological of these lands. In the case of the dinosaur quarry it would benefit both the image of Murgia and that one of Altamura with its entrepreneurial structure. The foresight in embracing, among their qualifying target, the support to the culture as growth engine for the territory would be recognized to it. The creation of more and more interactions between the Park Corporation and the realities of environmental associationism and not, of the social private, of category organizations, of the economic fabric , is the first target that I set at the beginning of the settlement in quality of president.
From this perspective, starting from now, please indicate your availability for a meeting in order to discuss the future of this archaeological site of inestimable value, as postponing the mentioned meeting would cause a loss of sense of a great perspective for evaluating what we have ahead .
