The (private) luxury hotel exists, while the redeveloped (public) square is a construction site "where no workers have been seen for weeks". The municipal councilor of Possibile, Francesca Mulas, shines a light on the never completed works in Piazza San Cosimo, in Cagliari : an intervention to embellish the space in front of the basilica of San Saturnino which was to be carried out by the company that owns Palazzo Doglio.
A counterpart that had been agreed in September 2019, when Palazzo Bacaredda had given the green light to the integrated program "for the urban redevelopment of the sector".
The owners of Forte Village, who have worked in the city through Downtown Cagliari, had been authorized for the intervention with an increase in volume in the large building that occupies an entire block. In exchange they should have carried out the works of embellishment of the whole surrounding area : they have pedestrianized a piece of via San Lucifero, the rest is blocked.
«While the Palazzo Doglio hotel opened to the public in February 2020», therefore three years ago, accuses Mulas, «anyone who passes through the area will see a bleak scenario: open construction site, nets, barriers and works left in half. We haven't seen a worker at work for weeks.'
For Mulas then, who presented a detailed question, the unanimous request of the City Council to make Palazzo Doglio on Piazza Ichnusa accessible with a pedestrian ramp was also "ignored: today we see a beautiful entrance staircase, those in wheelchairs or pushes a stroller he has to go around covering several tens of meters up to via Logudoro».
