A large fire, which broke out in Valledoria, destroyed the sacristy of the church of Cristo Re and the premises where the parish priest, Francesco Mocci, originally from Villanovaforru, resides.
The fire that broke out in the late afternoon today, Wednesday, January 8, damaged much of the building. The flames also reached the furnishings of the parish.
On site were the Carabinieri of the Valledoria Company and the firefighters of the local detachment, still engaged in extinguishing operations.
This is the second fire that broke out in the church in a few days. The last episode dates back to Sunday, January 5, during mass, when Don Mocci intervened to put out the fire, which was also intentional.
