Lecco’s Parking War Over: Million-Euro Settlement Puts City in Charge

Posted on May 28, 2025May 28, 2025 by Editor

Black and white ink drawing, 16:9 widescreen on a white background, in the energetic Franco-Belgian comic style of François Walthéry and André Franquin. Scene: The Mayor of Lecco, a cheerful, moustachioed Italian man with expressive features, and the Company Administrator, an equally animated Italian businessman in a suit, are shaking hands enthusiastically in a picturesque Italian town square in Lecco, with background hints of classic Italian architecture and distant mountains reminiscent of Lake Como. Between them, a symbolic exchange: a document prominently displaying ‘ACCORDO’ (Agreement) and a large, old-fashioned key to a parking meter. A small, canvas money bag discreetly passes from the Mayor to the Administrator. Nearby, a happy Italian female city employee in a smart uniform proudly polishes a parking meter now bearing a ‘COMUNE DI LECCO – PARCHEGGIO’ (Municipality of Lecco – Parking) sign. Diverse, joyful stereotypical Italian citizens (men and women of various ages) in dynamic, bustling poses celebrate in the background, conveying relief and optimism with celebratory gestures. Clean, bold black ink lines, strong contours, and traditional cross-hatching for shading and texture, capturing the lively, humorous spirit of 1980s Belgian comics. All characters have highly expressive faces and dynamic body language. No text other than ‘ACCORDO’ and ‘COMUNE DI LECCO – PARCHEGGIO’.
