One of the sculptures created by the artist Odo Tinteri, positioned in front of the Turritano dock, has been vandalized for the third time . The New Year's Eve festivities did not even spare the work that tells the story of the Via Crucis, one of the bas-reliefs donated to the Municipality of Porto Torres. The vandals for the third time, and always in the same period of the Christmas holidays , targeted one of the 18 stone tables that represent the young deacon Gianuario in front of the Barbarian King , a work positioned near the Port Museum, hit and damaged mercilessly probably with a hammer.
A game that testifies to the incivility and lack of respect towards a symbol inspired by the Passio and dedicated to the martyrdom of the saints Gavino, Proto and Gianuario, inaugurated in 2017 and placed in different points of the streets and on the seafront, structures positioned on a metal support that had transformed the city into a "gallery" of works of art. They reduced it to pieces and left it on the ground , a devastation to the detriment of public property.
Some witnesses tell of gangs of young people who go wild at night right on that stretch of via Ponte Romano , "where a road closed for four years favors the state of abandonment and where everyone feels authorized and free to do what they want to the detriment of public property", comments Roberto Sini. So after an evening of revelry in the maritime station area, to end on a high note they thought it a good idea to damage one of the sculptures already vandalized in August 2019 and then repaired.
