The ancient Piazza Fera has always been a complex and difficult. Born on a plot of building land continues to be the hub in which converge a number of streets, where it stands a poor quality theatrical and where scale planimetric predominate over those of the buildings that face on it, but also its importance, although changed over the years because of the different functions, represents a key point in the development of trade and usage habits of Cosenza. Today, after a few months from 14 July if they rintona to speak, after it was presented as the "Museum Quarter" starting from the remodeling project of "Piazza Fera" won the contest of ideas in 1997. Oggi tutto sembra dimenticato e l’architetto Pietro Caruso, informato sulla richiesta di contributi pubblici ai cittadini non tace e ci dichiara:«si continua a parlare di Piazza Bilotti come se su essa esistesse solo un concorso
di idee vinto, ma non è così. Io ho avuto incarico di redigere i progetti preliminare e definitivo che furono ripresi nel 2006 dal commissario prefettizio La Rosa per la pubblicazione di un bando di un project
financing che comprendeva oltre a piazza Bilotti, anche piazza Riforma ed il ponte di Calatrava. Esisteva già private capital investors interested but Senator Toni Gentile, presented a question to the Minister of Infrastructure requesting a suspension for reasons of political and social intervention as a reason for pointing distortion of assets and urban roads of areas. It must be remembered that only the square Bilotti will invest € 18 million, funds of private individuals. Meanwhile, the new mayor Perugini made to withdraw the invitation and asked me to design changes that include the bus yard. Then silence again, until today but there are still investors interested. In Cosenza not talking about urban planning and continues to call a square area of \u200b\u200basphalt deliberately omitted a current project and interpretive site, acclaimed throughout Europe and further enhanced by Fuksas. The city is uncertain as Francesco Naccarato, director of a construction company, "hence the 50% of people work in tertiary activities and do not forget the car for everyone but especially the characterization of natural square." Luigi Marrelli environmental historian, spoke with the memories of the magnolia plaza of Kennedy, and pedestrian "a concrete example of a half was devoid of vegetation and microclimate that is necessary for proper health. Piazza Bilotti can make atonement for so many occasions Cosenza miss as an avenue park and the mall. There is no comprehensive characterization of identity, but first of all we must play around with the traffic and business plans for the urban area "Sergio Amoroso former president of the regional federation of architects argued that " The square has always been a gap urban, with large sculptures not happily placed. It is already a commercial center and we need to think of something new, courageous non-trivial for the third millennium, which may be the new symbol of Cosenza.
