Tear down the Buoncammino wall to transform the former prison into a place of peace, open to the city, which preserves the past and thinks about the future by creating spaces for students. The “City Plan of Cagliari”, signed by the State Property Agency, the Region, the Local Health Authority, the Municipality, the University and the Port Authority, lays the foundations for a radical change in the capital through the exchange of unused properties between state bodies. A titanic undertaking, led by the director of the State Property Agency Alessandra dal Verme, which however seems to have taken the right path. There is no shortage of horizons, among these the recovery of the old military penitentiary institute inside the Livio Duce barracks, in San Bartolomeo, where the provincial command of the Carabinieri will soon be transferred, which will be converted into residential buildings.
The properties owned by the State include, in addition to Buoncammino and the Livio Duce barracks, the former Air Force Warehouses on Via Simeto, destined for the new Revenue Agency hub; the Military Hospital on Via Azuni, used by the Ministry of Defense, will also house, in a portion of it, the Stampace Carabinieri station; the former Indire Offices on Via Galassi, destined for Istat; the headquarters of the General Command of the Port Authority on Via dei Calafati, subject to energy efficiency works and the building of the District Attorney's Office on Via Dante, for which redevelopment works will be carried out.
"The Cagliari City Plan is a planning tool integrated with local authorities," explains Alessandra Dal Verme. The former Buoncammino prison is certainly the most valuable asset in the city of the state's real estate portfolio, for which a 65 million euro loan is planned. "Before financing, it is necessary to do a context analysis on this asset. It is a point of reference for Cagliari, it is a place that can become a symbol of regeneration. From a place of punishment we want to transform it into a place of inclusion, open to citizens, a place where young people can go with university residences and where there can be offices of the Public Administration, all linked by the thread of culture. We are thinking of bringing the State Archives. to the evolution of industrial archaeology to arrive at the city of the future. The synergy between the Agency and the local institutions represents a great opportunity to support the Municipality in building a “Cagliari of traditions that opens to the future”, a city where sea, nature, history and tradition merge, creating a charm that has its roots in the landscape».
