City and the government of the country are not interchangeable. What makes you guys say they are? Like brehme said, there are layers in between which means political capital needs to be used to get favouritable decisions from the government if state funds is to be used for something a specific city wants. There are other cities in Italy aswell.
You're getting pedantic.
City Council is another level that is still a bureaucratic organisation that governs and manages a local regionalised area.
I haven't looked into the model in Italy per se but I would be surprise if they dont follow a typical western process, and i mean this by saying, councillors are employed into their positions because of local constituents voting for them. In Australia they have a fixed terms for 5 years for example and manage the city and the funds of that city like a government. So yes, City is very much like the Government.
I recognise your point state funds can used to gain political favour and in this case unlikely to provide any such funds. However, the City can do the same like the state, and choose to deploy funds where they see fit.
My personally, I think the city would be negligent if they use the funds to give Inter/Milan a sweet heart deal. The people of Milano would probably see better use of those, and I would think they have the typical 10 objectives, which i guess would be something similar below;
A) Remove red tape and process, increasing productivity and creating a more viable city for strategic economic growth.
B) Better services and transport integration
C) Developing and planning for smart cities, creating more sustainable city and even looking a cleaner and greener initiatives.
These are three generic items that major cities across the globe would continue to use and say they promise to deliver. As for the San Siro, this would be in direct conflict now they have left it too late where the City would lose in such a deal.
Three years ago, they would have ticked every single one of those objectives while not being the contributor to the project. Now they have would have to give beyond their means if they want both organisation Inter/Milan to stay.
I don't know about these things in detail, but I could see this being the reality. Which Milano most probably won't be offering at any point. But as both clubs are moving forward with the own stadium plans, quite concretely, it builds up the pressure to the council to present a big offer.
Let's see. They gonna see each other (again) next week.
And its too late. The time for a deal to work for all parties was when both Inter and Milan submitted their proposal. Milan has now purchased the land, and Inter is looking at critical infrastructure and planning with the council.
It takes months to get to this point. And cant just be undone because the City decide oh wait now we like go ahead. Sala is a fat chick begging the guy stay the night with the offer but I'll give you a blowjob, when you have a 10 texting you at 1 AM, saying what are you doing, come over? Some will choose the fat chick's blow job, but Milan and Inter will most likely choose the hot bitch that you wanna smash and then brag to your mates about in the morning.
