A new store, a new school, and ancient history for the community in Siracusa 🇮🇹 Lidl Italia has just opened a new store at Via Grottasanta 339, the third in Siracusa, combining modern retail with a strong commitment to the local community. What makes this store so special? 🏫 Urban regeneration & education – As part of the Mazzarona–Grottasanta redevelopment plan, the project includes a €1 million investment to build a new primary school with spaces for community activities. 🏛 Archaeological preservation – Greek-era latomia quarry remains are now visible inside and outside the store through a glass floor. 👥 17 new jobs created, adding to 23,000 employees nationwide. 🌱 Class A1 energy rating and a 207 kWp photovoltaic system for greater energy efficiency. "A major challenge has come to an end: building a store while preserving the archaeological findings discovered during the excavation phase. The history of the site now intertwines with the present. Moreover, thanks to the natural slope of the land, the supermarket overlooks the lower-level parking area, and a large canopy – an extension of the store’s roof – provides shade for customers in this sunny city," say Rossella Li Destri and Roberta Sciuto, Development Manager and Technical Manager at Lidl Italia.
