New progress has been made in Sestu on the construction site of the new city theater. In the last few hours, concrete mixers have been in action pouring new concrete for the foundations, a crucial step in ensuring the building's stability. This is a crucial operation in the project phase, on which the building's stability will depend.
"Work on the theater's construction is progressing," said Emanuele Meloni, Councilor for Public Works and Technological Services. " An additional pouring of the foundations has been completed in recent days. The company will now pause for its usual summer break: upon its return, the goal will be to make up a few weeks of delay . We have received a promise from the company to increase the number of workers employed on the project to speed up the process." Regarding the deadline for completion, he added: "An extension is being evaluated, but it will not exceed the tight deadlines set by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) contracts."
The municipal administration is therefore aiming for a new breakthrough in September: more staff to reduce delays and complete a project that residents eagerly await. This is a significant milestone, the first concrete step toward elevating the load-bearing structures . The construction site is abuzz with curiosity: every day, residents stop to observe the progress of the work. The new theater will rise from the ashes of the former combatants' club—where Giorgio Loi's mural can still be seen today—in what will be a true passing of the historical and cultural baton.
Once completed, it will be a cultural center capable of hosting shows, concerts and artistic initiatives, giving back to the city a place that has always been a symbol of sociality and creativity .
