Why it's not simple
The interventions become usable only when an authentic, updated document referring to that building certifies them, and someone is responsible for that proof.

Who submits the Scia and who keeps the certificates in a loan agreement?
The loan agreement
In a loan agreement, the concrete obligations are decided by the contract. Clear clauses state who submits, who keeps and who updates.
Before moving on
How many years was the loan agreement hypothesis later abandoned?
The source
The Academy occupies spaces of the Municipality on a free loan: it does not pay rent, but assumes obligations of use and custody. The Civil Code places ordinary expenses on the borrower, the rest depends on the contract.

How do you rebuild a safety file without starting from scratch?
The file
A file is rebuilt starting from the object: each system with its document, each document with its date.
The source
The institute is rebuilding the file with safety consultants, in concert with Palafrizzoni executives, to submit the fire Scia as soon as possible.

Note
Sergio Gandi, Councillor for Culture, points out: «And the regulations are subject to constant updating». A file is a living archive, not a closed folder.

What changes for those who attend the building when the paperwork is in order?
The classrooms
Verifiable documents return the classrooms to students and teachers, and give those running the institute the certainty of opening safely.
The source
Three hundred students live together in the Academy, as well as teachers and staff, with laboratories, materials and equipment.
