«Today the roof is completed and the works continue quickly towards completion»: Federica Porcu wrote it this morning on the official page of the municipal administration of La Maddalena by the councilor for public works and deputy mayor, referring to the restoration works of the stage of Music.
The structure was built at the end of the 19th century in Command Square, a few meters from the Admiralty headquarters. At the time it was used for important concerts held by military and non-military orchestras, and by city bands on the occasion of military and civilian events.
The works had begun, by the firm Zicchittu Francesco of Olbia, in early April. The static conditions of the structure - cordoned off in November 2020 - required recovery and restoration interventions as some of the cast iron pillars were damaged, other top support elements were unhinged and such as to no longer fulfill their static function. The project also includes the enhancement of the surrounding area, accessible and inclusive, with arrangement of the greenery, benches and a multimedia-information panel that will describe the history of the music box, from its birth at the end of the 19th century to its restoration in the 60s up to the present day.
