Present at the meeting, among others, the prefect Grazia La Fauci, the mayor Giuseppe Mascia, the extraordinary commissioner of the Metropolitan City Gavino Arru, and the civil and military authorities of the province.
"Let us remember - said the mayor - that today we are fortunate to live in a time that has been denied to others". "It is an honor for Sassari - declared the prefect - that the first stumbling block of the Island was placed here" . "Let us be vigilant - so Arru - because today we feel the possibility that that past could return".
