The greater part of the Turin/Aeritalia airport area is included in the Municipality of Collegno. In the past months, the Regional Government announced new plans to build a large hospital in the area. From his side, the Turin's Mayor announced his intention to authorize another 150 m-tall skyscraper not far from the runway threshold! We simply note that announcements are free-of charge but, especially in these times, real-money is not so abundant.
