Storm-damaged public spaces remain under inspection
Municipal teams are continuing safety checks and repairs across Pistoia following the severe weather of August 20–21.

Accessibility concerns at the Einaudi school
The replacement lift at Pistoia’s Einaudi institute has reportedly remained out of service for more than a year because final certification is still missing. The delay particularly affects students with reduced mobility as enrolment rises from 1,290 to 1,350. The school council has also raised questions about the annual authorisation of six rooms used for teaching and language laboratories. Source: Il Tirreno – Pistoia.
