ANCI estimates that energy costs for Italian municipalities amount to €1.6 to 1.8 billion , and that energy bills will rise by at least €550 million . Decaro said the 30 percent rise would leave a gap on the municipalities’ yearly budget.
“We could be forced to cut on essential services, starting from street lighting, which plays an important role in ensuring public safety,” Decaro said.Rome’s mayor announced its renowned city hall, the Capitoline, would go dark for 30 minutes starting from 8pm. In Florence, the landmark medieval Ponte Vecchio bridge and buildings in the old city would also turn off their lights.
“Soaring [energy] bills will cost between €40 and 50 million a year,” said Rome mayor Roberto Gualtieri. “This is the equivalent of three years of school public transport, three months of school meals, and maintenance for 180 kilometres of roads.”
