An important and prestigious assignment. Thus Guido Calzia will leave the command of the Local Police of Cagliari on June 30 , a year and more before the expiry of the contract. He communicated it yesterday to the mayor. And there are those who, maliciously, have also spread rumors of possible friction between the two . Instead, Calzia's decision is dictated only by a career opportunity that is probably indispensable. Also this morning, during a training conference for the forces of order, speaking, he said he was sorry to have to leave the city.

However, it was a bolt from the blue . Calzia was supposed to leave his office in August 2024. Since his arrival on September 1, 2021, he has managed various emergencies : from Covid restrictions to malamovida services, to checks on the abandonment of rubbish and, recently , the fight against the illegal occupation of buildings owned by the Municipality and the verifications of the authorizations of the street vendors and the owners of the van-sandwich shops, which then resulted in the protest on Wednesday with the blocking of traffic by the street vendors. Calzia, born in 1966, was born in Imperia. In his past he also directed the commands of the Local Police of Porto Torres and Alghero. before Cagliari he was in command of the X Sea Group in Ostia: here he also held the position of director of the Environmental Protection Department.

The full names for the successor have already been opened . The usual well-informed have thrown into the fray the names of Massimiliano Zurru and Marco Cantori, also indicated two years ago among the possible successors of Mario Delogu. Then the choice ended up on Calzia. So it's nothing strange that this time too the name can come from outside Sardinia.
