Fear last night at Villanova . A tub caught fire around 2.30 am in via Giardini . A woman returning home noticed the fire and immediately called the firefighters and the police, who arrived quickly. The flames were promptly put out before they could cause any more damage, also given the strong mistral wind. The fire damaged the front door of the house and part of the external wall. Fortunately, there were no people inside the house at the time.

"We're moving so we weren't here last night, we were notified and I rushed immediately to check the situation in person," declares Cesare Cannas, who owns the apartment with his wife. «There were our two cats, very scared. Luckily, however, the fire did not enter the house."

However, there was no damage to the two nearby apartments. Cannas thinks it was arson. «The neighborhood is overall quiet, but for some years it has been somewhat abandoned by local institutions and many acts of vandalism are taking place. It would be good for the Municipality to pay more attention to Villanova." The man says he is not afraid, "I think it was a coincidence, but more vigilance is needed."
