Ferrara, 26 October 2020 – “Do not send any authorities to close me, because I’ll make them go back by hook or by crook. Anyone who knows me knows that I will! Work is a right! “. This is the ending of the post that appeared on the facebook page of the gym” Area 51 Fitness & Body Building “, an amateur sports association in the artisan area of Pontemaodino in Codigoro, chaired by the combative Maria Antonietta Pellanda. Among other things, the gym is open every day, except for Christmas.

“If I want to pay the debts I have to stay open as much as possible – says the forty-six-year-old president from Vicenza – I posted this post not as a joke, but because I want to keep doing my job after the many sacrifices made to build the structure in which on average, in a year, about three hundred people with the most varied needs, all associated “. A space of almost seven hundred square meters where the instructors hold courses of various disciplines, from aerobics to spinning, up to post trauma rehabilitation activities.
“We do everything in the light of the sun, not like perhaps in other structures where they are kept hidden – resumes Maria, for all Mary -: I opened the gym on August 23 a year ago to fulfill the dream of a lifetime, I closed on March 9th until May 25th for covid. Between June and July I received well 24 checks by various police forces, without anyone being able to challenge me for some lack, because we are the first to care about the health of those who attend. It is a question of fairness, mutual trust as well as entrepreneurship. A single sick member would be enough, and it would become a boomerang for our association. Ours is a structure open to members only who know they have to respect the hygiene rules, we have put every type of sanitizer and everything required by current regulations to be in compliance. And we are “.
Why then such a threatening post? “I just want to work and nothing more – he replies -: for this reason I wrote it to the mayor Zanardi, my gym will remain open, and we will work as we have done up to now in compliance with the rules with all the necessary precautions. We can no longer comply with such impositions, above all because the Italian state is unable to protect and help us. In this pandemic, the only people who have brilliantly overcome the infection were the sportsmen and what does the great Mr. Conte do? – concludes ironically – closes the gyms where it can easily be held contagion under control“.
