There is controversy over the night gymkana organized last Saturday in Ulassai and which, due to the mistake of a motorist, caused damage to the work " Il volo del Gioco dell'oca " by Maria Lai in Piazza Barigau.
The race, organized by the Ulassai MotoClub, took place right next to the permanent installation. And a motorist, who went off the track, left a black circle with his tires on the work , which sees the reproduction in acrylic of the 13 squares that make up the game of the goose.
The scar was documented by a drone and the controversy immediately broke out over whether to authorize a gymkana so close to a monument in the country.
The representative of the MotoClub, Marco Vargiu , is not there and speaks of a " controversy about nothing ".
"We cleaned up the mudslides on the work in the late morning of Sunday and now 'the game of the goose' is perfect again - explains Vargiu -. It was a motorist who, unaware of this, left the track full of mud to greet the audience and the car circled the work. He made a mistake, but luckily nothing irreparable happened ".
"We have always done those gymkans - he adds - the track was protected by hay bales , but this time there was someone 's mistake . It is clear that he should not have done it, next time we will be more careful". "But I like to remember - adds Vargiu - that Maria Lai created this work for children to play with and for people to live there, so that the square was always alive".
