Five hours’ drive every day for a month from Marcon (Venice) to Cortina (Belluno), just to be able to be a professor. It’s a real odyssey that Ivano Apisa49 years old, tells the Corriere del Veneto. It’s all the fault of the prohibitive rental prices of Ampezzo homes which would have forced him into forced commuting.
Apisa had obtained a teaching position at the Cortina middle school last November but when it came to finding accommodation in the area the teacher realized that the Ampezzo rents would cost him his teacher’s salary. “I couldn’t afford to spend 1,200-1,500 euros a month – he says – against a paycheck of around 1,650”.
After a month of traveling by car, Apisa finally found a room in Calalzo, 45 minutes from Cortina. “Of course, now I’m closing the month at zero – he continues – but in November I lost money, between petrol and tolls”. Not to mention that on June 15th he will have to leave the accommodation “because it will be rented to tourists”. The future, therefore, remains uncertain for the professor. “Without a solution I will have to ask to return to Marcon, again as a substitute – he states -. And I would be very sorry to leave my boys”.
