Cagliari, the Roman necropolis reduced to a landfill: "A reclamation soon"

The Roman Necropolis of Nostra Signora di Bonaria, in Cagliari, increasingly reduced to a garbage dump.

But maybe something is moving. The councilor for public green, Giorgio Angius, announced the start of a reclamation and, subsequently, a constant cleaning activity as, until today, he explained to the city council, "the contract for the collection of solid urban waste approved in the past, it did not cover this important area ".

To report the deterioration of the area was the municipal adviser Marcello Polastri, president of the heritage and safety commission of the Municipality of Cagliari, who had previously reported the situation to the town hall offices.

“A short distance from the Basilica of the same name, a deep environment dug into the rock at the time of ancient Rome, makes a fine show of itself with a considerable amount of abandoned waste, even thrown into it by anonymous hands. Urban archeology, therefore, traded as a mega dustbin, something that leaves me horrified, "Polastri said in the council.

Adding: "Sorry and saddened by this situation that sees the millennial abodes of the dead, formerly modeled in the rock, used to throw all kinds of garbage into them. Yet they are places that deserve respect since the uncivilized and even the arrogant do not want to hear reasons".
