A managerial determination comes from the Municipality which has the effect of a torpedo on Luchia, the very popular kiosk on Viale Buoncammino in Cagliari: it must be dismantled, the concession has been revoked forever.

The provision, with immediate effect, starts from the Municipality's Heritage service: it does not just talk about tables, chairs and flower boxes placed without authorization or DJs who played music in violation of the acoustic plan. There is also reference to unpaid fees and unpaid fines.

This year it turned out that, despite downward recalculations «the debt position had further worsened due to an unpaid debt resulting from a local police report dated 20 October 2023. The company was therefore owed a sum equal to 18,103.77 euros ». The forfeiture procedure was started when the local police ascertained that the same company "operating the kiosk bar business, installed and used, in the absence of a valid qualification, an electro-acoustic system for the amplification and sound diffusion of musical pieces managed by a DJ and occupied part of the public land adjacent to the kiosk for a total of 99 square metres".

Through a professional firm, the company contested the quantification of the arrears. The Municipality rejected the reconstruction. No findings were made in the officers' reports.

So here is the forfeiture of the concession. But also the notice "to the company" for the "removal of the kiosks and accessory artefacts and the reclamation and restoration of the state of the places in the occupied area within 30 days of notification of the provision". If the owners don't think about it, the Municipality's bulldozer will arrive and the costs will be borne by them.

The effectiveness is immediate, unless an appeal is received.
