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 />
