Tables and noise in the nightlife streets: the technical committee between the administration, residents' committees in historic neighborhoods, and merchants are scrambling to find the right rules, volume, and hours to reach an agreement. Because on one hand, there are residents' needs for rest, but on the other, there are those who work and bring life to the historic center with bars, pizzerias, and restaurants. FIPE Confcommercio Sud Sardegna is calling for immediate experimental measures and sustainable regulations. "We are pleased with the meeting; it's a milestone," says President Emanuele Frongia. "We've been fighting for some time against a noise abatement plan that prevents us from working in complete tranquility, while also fully respecting the neighborhood residents. Finally, a new phase of dialogue and listening, which we've been calling for for years, is beginning."

For the public establishments' association, the key issue remains reconciling the right to rest with businesses' right to work . "In recent years, our businesses have been put at risk , and with them , the services offered to the many tourists who choose Cagliari ," Frongia continues. "But above all, the jobs of many employees who have families to support and mortgages to pay have been put at risk. This is why we have always opposed punitive measures that fail to address the problem of the nightlife."

According to Fipe Confcommercio Sud Sardegna, the permanent roundtable must now translate the discussion into effective action: targeted controls against abuses, greater territorial oversight, empowerment of all operators, urban planning, and truly sustainable rules for regular businesses. "We have always maintained that blanket cuts to hours, tables, and capacity aren't necessary, because doing so would affect healthy businesses without eliminating improper behavior," Frongia emphasizes. "Instead, we need a modern model that guarantees urban livability, safety, employment, and tourism development."

Fipe Confcommercio Sud Sardegna therefore confirms its full availability to collaborate with the Municipality, technical offices, and social groups for the experimental phase announced during the meeting . "We expect rapid response and bold decisions," Frongia concludes. "Cagliari cannot choose between the rest of its residents and the work of its businesses: it must guarantee both. And it is precisely in this balance that we are ready to play our part."
