Roccavione hosts summit on potential new Mountain Union

Mayors and administrators of the Green Community Margreen will meet in Roccavione on September 29 to discuss the potential creation of a larger Mountain Union. The proposed entity would consolidate 20 municipalities and approximately 30,000 residents to improve the management of essential services. Key topics for the strategic debate include the unification of administrative and technical services, centralized procurement, shared personnel, and assistance in accessing European and PNRR funds.

In other regional developments, Arpae celebrated 30 years of environmental and sustainability support in Emilia-Romagna with a conference in Bologna. Meanwhile, the city of Bologna launched the 2026 Barresi Prize to support young, sustainable businesses and female entrepreneurship. In Sicily, residents in Sciacca have raised concerns regarding the removal of waste bins from beaches following the end of the peak tourist season.
