«While we respect the TAR's decision, we do not agree and we will not stop ». A sentence that does not want to ignite controversy, the one published on a Facebook post by the Florio bar in Piazza San Domenico in Cagliari, but which suggests the desire for redemption and revenge , after a battle started last June against the Municipality . The spark that set off the powder keg was a local police report accusing the owners of "the use of an electro-acoustic system for sound amplification of musical pieces, managed by DJs, in the absence of a valid qualification". And again, according to what was written by the agents, on site «music was produced and broadcast via a console. The equipment was installed inside the venue and the music was propagated from inside to outside, audible in the public street as the entrance door was permanently open." Translated: the music - from the bar - could also be heard outside , on the street. And this, by regulation, is not allowed.
Expected sanction : stop at the tables in the square for 30 days , in the middle of the summer season. The suspension of the concession was then blocked. But - despite this first victory - the TAR agreed with the Municipality. And the owners don't agree : «The disagreement lies first of all in the different evaluation of the facts and for this reason we will continue to support the reasons of Bar Florio in the appropriate forums, to protect our work, our good faith and our employees. We have entrusted ourselves to the work of excellent lawyers who continue to have our trust. The disagreement also lies in the idea of the city that we carry within us: we believe that the coexistence of the different needs of citizens is undoubtedly the biggest challenge in living common spaces, but also the most rewarding when carried out through listening and compromise ».
