The lands are the enchanted ones of Malvasia di Bosa, on the slopes of Montiferru. Protected lands, by law and by history. The ordeal of Planargia, between Magomadas and Tresnuraghes, Tinnura and Flussio, begins in the summer of 2019. The quiet of those places is devastated by a piercing pace of an unprecedented nauseating stench. He enters homes, "breaks" the windows of entire towns, imposes a curfew on hundreds of families. An endless column of trucks loaded with sewage sludge coming from distant Puglia pours out a stone's throw from the town of Magomadas. One hundred and fifty meters from the town centre, due to the never clarified events of the public administration, what should have been a treatment plant for the sewage sludge of the Ilva land of Taranto, Bari, Monopoli, Altamura and Brindisi was authorized and even built .
Sewer river
A sewage river destined to first cross half of Italy, then the Tyrrhenian Sea until it reaches that unspoiled enclave of western Sardinia. The war lasts a year, on one side a community devastated by that Apulian "sewerage route" and on the other Geco, a limited company that suddenly becomes the point of reference in Puglia for the disposal of sewage sludge for an entire Region. In reality, sewage sludge that in the "heel of Italy" no one wanted to treat because it was clogged with all kinds of substances, so much so that most of the plants in Puglia had been closed with legal measures and more. Therefore, Geco becomes an Apulian enclave on Sardinian land, turning an entire territory upside down. The inhabitants protest, not only in Magomadas, the defense committees of the territory are born, of the Malvasia di Bosa protected by a decree of the President of the Republic. The competent institutions are asleep, due to many omissions and many territorial complicities.
The prosecutor's blitz
The Public Prosecutor's Office of Oristano will stop what is perceived by citizens as an environmental disaster. The measure is disruptive, as it was urgent: plant seized. The Public Prosecutor Marco De Crescenzo has the papers in his hands regarding that nauseating "load", the testimonies collected by the Forestry Service, a coming and going in the Prosecutor's Office of citizens who record ailments and annoyances of all kinds. A community under seizure, forced to stay locked at home, so as not to be attacked by that unbearable stench that envelops the entire country. Subsequent investigations will tell a much more serious story, despite the fact that the inconvenience imposed on the citizens of Planargia was already enough to stop that river full of sewage sludge that was pouring from Puglia into the Malvasia promontories.
