- Inauguration of the new cruise terminal of the port of Palermo
-
- Project realized with an investment of 40 million euros
-
 Today in the port of Palermo was inaugurated the new
Cruise terminal Palermo Cruise Terminal which was
made on the Vittorio Veneto pier on the skeleton of the ancient
maritime station built in 1950 on a project by the architect
Salvatore Caronia Roberti. The renovated building is the
result of a complete refunctionalization that has maintained
substantially unchanged the external appearance but it is
radically intervened on the reconfiguration of interior spaces
which have been totally demolished and rebuilt. The cost
total of the structure and the supporting works is 40
millions of euros.-
- At the inauguration ceremony were present, in addition to the
President of the Port System Authority of the Sea of
Western Sicily, Pasqualino Monti, the President of the Region
Sicilian, Nello Musumeci, the mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando,
the president of Assoporti, Rodolfo Giampieri, as well as
Giovanni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises, Mario
Zanetti, general manager of Costa Cruises, and Francesca Isgrò,
president of West Sicily Gate, the joint venture between MSC Cruises and
Costa Cruises that will manage cruise traffic in
Palermo and in the other landings administered by the AdSP of Sicily

- "We are committed - said the president
of the Monti port authority on the occasion of the inauguration - for
to give back to the port a new soul, linked to the ancient heart of the
city, its history, its culture. It's reason
of pride for me to return to the city its cruise
terminal, essential to grasp the many stresses that
come from the outside and to respond in a new way to the current
market needs. The intervention served to increase
the development and use of the structure that plays a role
strategic for mobility, tourism, the economy of
urban and Sicilian reality. More: it represents the
first interface between the city of Palermo and tourism
