The Department for the South of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers has revoked single authorization no. 74 of 2026 which had given the green light to the contested Tavolara Bay project in Cala Finanza .
No more ZES, therefore, and no more glamping on the promontory of the Gallura coastal town of Loiri Porto San Paolo. "The revocation was adopted precisely because of the subsequent revocation by our City Council of Resolution No. 50 of November 25, 2025," explains Mayor Francesco Lai .
Last June 30th, in a meeting of the municipal council of Loiri Porto San Paolo with a single item on the agenda, Mayor Lai had explained the reasons for the request to the councilors to revoke through self-regulation the resolution made in November 2025 which allowed the redevelopment of the area .
Two days later, and following the massive turnout of citizens and activist groups at yesterday's demonstration at Cala Finanza, Rome issued a halt today. This halt concerns the only submitted project, the glamping site, while—as the Region also specified—no application has ever been submitted for a resort that the Italian-Brazilian company Tavolara Bay srl, part of the JHSF group, is said to be planning to build in the area.
The mayor
"This is a victory for the principle of loyal cooperation between institutions. It demonstrates that when a municipality exercises its prerogatives seriously and rigorously, the state knows how to listen. And how to correct itself ," Lai declared.
The Region
But the decision immediately sparked a political clash.
"Sardinia was right, the Government had to surrender to the evidence", Alessandra Todde's lapidary comment , underlining that in the case "fundamental principles were at stake: respect for our territory, the Regional Landscape Plan and the competences that the Special Statute attributes to Sardinia".
