la provincia <strong>com</strong>asca e nel Lecchese. Il progresso della<br />
Nessi&Majocchi e quello di Como si fondono in opere<br />
simbolo: il grattacielo di Camerlata, il nuovo monoblocco<br />
dell’Ospe<strong>da</strong>le Sant’Anna (1970), la tangenziale di Como con<br />
la copertura del Cosia (1973), l’impian<strong>to</strong> della Comodepur<br />
(1980), la nuova Dogana di Broge<strong>da</strong> (1991). «Ma<br />
soprattut<strong>to</strong> – evoca con orgoglio Giampiero Majocchi – il<br />
centro espositivo di Villa Erba, opera sofferta, ambiziosa,<br />
difficile. Ma bellissima, tan<strong>to</strong> <strong>da</strong> farmi <strong>com</strong>muovere<br />
all’inaugurazione». Con tan<strong>to</strong> passa<strong>to</strong> alle spalle, il futuro<br />
potrebbe anche fare paura. «Invece no – chiude con un<br />
sorriso Majocchi – il futuro va costrui<strong>to</strong>».<br />
Meanwhile the firm grew and expanded as it built all<br />
over the provinces of Como and Lecco. The progress of<br />
Nessi&Majocchi and that of Como are forged <strong>to</strong>gether in<br />
symbolic works of construction: Camerlata’s skyscraper,<br />
the new mono-block of the Sant’Anna Hospital (1970),<br />
the Como ringroad and the covering over of the River<br />
Cosia (1973), the Comodepur Plant (1980) and the new<br />
Broge<strong>da</strong> Cus<strong>to</strong>ms <strong>com</strong>plex (1991).<br />
“But above all”, Giampiero Majocchi points out<br />
with pride, “the Villa Erba Exhibition Centre which<br />
was a fraught, ambitious, <strong>to</strong>ugh job. But beautiful<br />
– so much so that I got quite emotional at the<br />
inauguration”.<br />
With such an awesome past, the future might<br />
seem a bit <strong>da</strong>unting. “Oh no it doesn’t”,<br />
Majocchi winds up with a smile, “the future has<br />
<strong>to</strong> be built!”<br />
