Torre del Greco has been assigned more than €1 million for the redevelopment of sports facilities at two schools, in a funding package aimed at providing students with more modern, safe and functional spaces for teaching and sport.

The allocations cover the gym of the Morelli school and the sports area of the Giovanni Paolo II school, two of the city's school sports sites now slated for renovation.

The two projects

According to local press reports, the funding is divided as follows:

  • €688,850 for the gym of the Morelli school, part of the Sauro-Morelli institute, on via Cavallerizzi.
  • €385,250 for the sports area at the Giovanni Paolo II school, on via Curtoli, part of the Don Milani-Leopardi comprehensive institute.

Together, the two grants exceed €1 million. The funding is attributed to the Ministry of Education and Merit.

Timeline: award and completion dates

The reported schedule sets two key milestones:

  • Award of the works by 31 March of next year
  • Completion of the works by 31 October 2027

The reports do not state whether procurement has already begun, nor whether those deadlines have subsequently changed. Detailed technical plans, tender procedures and contractor information have not been published in the sources available.

Local follow-up

The municipal administration has activated its technical offices to move the projects forward, with school-building councillor Virginia Palomba cited as responsible for the local follow-up.

The stated objective is straightforward: to upgrade existing school sports facilities into safer, better-equipped and more functional environments for physical education and school sport.

What readers should know

For families and school users, the practical points are the locations and the timeline. The two sites are the Morelli complex on via Cavallerizzi and the Giovanni Paolo II complex on via Curtoli. If the reported schedule holds, contracts are due to be awarded by the end of March, with works completed by October 2027.

What is not yet clear from the published reports is the work-by-work scope at each site, how long construction will last on school grounds, or what temporary arrangements will apply for pupils during the works.
