Yesterday evening, the Maremosso citizens' committee set up a flash mob to protest against the privatization of the former traffic light station and the Luigi Serra Battery which risk being transformed into luxury hotels after the concession (thirty years and upon payment of a annual fee of 35 thousand euros) from the Region to New fari srl for the enhancement and redevelopment of the two structures for accommodation purposes.
At sunset, many people, including many children, walked for an hour on the paths of the Capo Figari promontory to reach the summit, 344 meters high, where the traffic light used by Guglielmo Marconi to make the first radio connection is located shortwave, in 1932.
