Fallout bunker: if you want it, the state gives it to you

There is also a fallout bunker among the assets that the government intends to alienate. Indeed, give. And we're talking about the largest bunker in Europe.

Is situated in Affi, in the province of Verona, in the bowels of Mount Moscal. It is an anti-atomic bunker built during the "Cold War" by NATO forces: 13 square meters on two floors plus the basement, 110 rooms, 3 entrances and an access gallery.

Designed to be completely autonomous in the event of a nuclear attack, with filtered internal air without contact with the external air, tanks for drinking water, filters, kitchen, anti-radiation showers, anti-seismic system, can accommodate up to 500 people. It is the "West Star", the largest bunker in Europe which remained active until 2007, when it was sold by NATO to the Ministry of Defence. Since 2010, the military use of the bunker has been abandoned. 

And from that moment, as Undersecretary of Defense Gioacchino Alfano points out, answering a question presented to the Chamber: "The asset has been included in the list of infrastructures to be disposed of". And "in confirming the lack of interest for the institutional purposes of the defense", the government representative let it be known that the bunker "could be alienated and valorised according to the possibilities offered by current legislation, including the free transfer to the local administrations concerned". Basically, given away.

Currently the bunker is being handed over to the 5th military infrastructure department of Padua as an inactive structure the only one to come forward it was precisely the Municipality of Affi, which however did not follow up on the acquisition request.
